Paralympic Athlete Highlight



Will Bayley (Great Britain)
Sport: Table tennis
Currently ranked Number 1, Will Bayley is a definite contender for a Gold Medal in the London Paralympic Games 2012.
He made his debut aged 20 years in Beijing and narrowly missed out on a medal position.
Will Bayley was born in Poole, Doreset and was born with a condition called Arthrogryposis affecting all of his limbs. When he was 7, he was diagnosed with cancer and underwent chemotherapy at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London.
In 2009, Will was ranked 3rd in the world and has steadily moved up in the rankings through wins in the European Championships in Croatia last year. He is now top of his class seven rankings.
