Steven Wood (17 March 1961 – 23 November 1995) was an Australian sprint canoeist and marathon canoeist who competed in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Competing in two Summer Olympics, he won a bronze medal in the K-4 1000 m event at Barcelona in 1992.
Wood won two medals at the ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships with a silver (K-4 1000 m: 1991) and a bronze (K-2 1000 m: 1986).
He was married to Anna Wood, a Dutch-born sprint canoeist who won two bronze medals at the Summer Olympics, one for Australia and one for the Netherlands. He was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder in 1988 and 1991-1992.[1] Wood committed suicide, possibly due to a recurring elbow injury.[2]
