The 2020 Paris Games are set to be a groundbreaking event for athletes with disabilities. One of the most inspiring stories to come out of the Games is that of Matt Stutzman, an American armless archer who is aiming for gold.
Stutzman was born without arms and has been shooting arrows since he was a child. He began competing in archery in 2009 and has since become one of the best archers in the world. He holds the world record for the longest accurate shot, at an incredible distance of 930 feet.
Stutzman’s story is remarkable not only because of his incredible skill but also because of the way he has challenged perceptions of disability. He has shown that people with disabilities can compete at the highest levels of sport and that they should not be underestimated.
At the Paris Games, Stutzman will be competing against some of the best archers in the world. He is determined to prove that he is capable of winning gold, despite his disability. His success would be a huge step forward for disabled athletes and would help to break down barriers and stereotypes.
Stutzman’s story is an inspiring example of what can be achieved when we challenge our own perceptions of disability. He is an example of how people with disabilities can compete at the highest levels of sport and can be successful. His success at the Paris Games would be a huge step forward for disabled athletes everywhere and would help to break down barriers and stereotypes.
