Canadian ski jumper Gregory Baxter made his international début at the 2002 Junior World Championships in Schonach, Germany. After several years of some success, Baxter finally qualified for a World Cup event when he competed in Zakopane, Poland in January 2006. His performances earned him a place on the Olympic team, with him competing at the 2006 Torino Games when he was only 16-years-old. Competing in both the normal hill and large hill events, he placed 41st and 46th, respectively, as well as 15th in the large hill team event. The following year Baxter finished 12th in the same team event at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Sapporo. After a tough 12 months where he failed to qualify for multiple Grand Prix events, Baxter was involved in a road accident, suffering a serious ankle injury that ultimately forced him to retire.
