Stevens qualified for the two-member Dutch taekwondo squad in the men's welterweight class (80 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, by placing third and granting a berth from the European Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Baku, Azerbaijan.[4] He crashed out in the opening match to the French taekwondo jin Christophe Negrel with a score of 10–13. With Negrel being defeated by Azerbaijan's Rashad Ahmadov in the quarterfinal, Stevens denied his chance to compete for the Olympic bronze medal through the repechage.[3][5][6]
