2019 "Strictly Come Dancing" competitor Will Bayley has a Paralympic gold medal in which sport?

William John Bayley (born 17 January 1988) is a British professional Paralympic table tennis player, ranked world number 1. He is the 2016 Summer Paralympics Games gold medallist and the 2014 World Champion.

Bayley won a silver medal in the London 2012 Summer Paralympics after losing to Germany's Jochen Wollmert in the class 7 final.

At the Rio 2016 Summer Paralympics, Bayley won his first Paralympic gold medal after beating home-favourite Brazilian Israel Pereira Stroh. He received a yellow card for jumping up onto the table in celebration.

Batley again won silver at the delayed Tokyo 2020 games, his third successive Paralympic medal. He went on to win silver in the team event, where he had a rematch in the final against Yan Shuo, who he lost his olympic title to a week earlier.

From September 2019 Bayley participated in the seventeenth series of "Strictly Come Dancing", paired with professional dancer Janette Manrara. Due to a knee injury, sustained when he landed after jumping from a raised platform in studio rehearsals, Will Bayley withdrew from the competition on 30 October.

Bayley was born on 17 January 1988 in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. He was born with arthrogryposis which affects all four of his limbs.

At the age of seven he was diagnosed with cancer. During his recovery he began playing table tennis after his grandmother bought him his first table.
