Matt Stutzman was born without arms but, for him, it's not a disability -- "it's just life." He grew up wanting to be the world's best basketball player but found his "Michael Jordan moment" when he tried archery after seeing it on TV in 2010. "A bow just wants to be shot," he says, "It doesn't care how it's shot." He won a place on the US team to the 2012 London Paralympics, where he won a silver medal and, in 2015, he set the record for the longest accurate shot, 283.47 meters, beating the previous able-bodied record holder. He narrowly missed a medal in 2016, due to a cracked arrow. Now he's aiming for gold in Tokyo.
