Matt Stutzman

Born

Base

Fairfield, IA

Augment Profile

Born without arms · foot draw, jaw-mounted release aid

Born without arms due to a congenital condition, Stutzman was adopted at three months by a family that refused to fit him with prosthetics, raising him to do everything with his feet.

He took up archery in 2009 to put food on the table for his family during a layoff, learning to draw the bow with his feet and release with a strap clenched in his teeth. He made the U.S. Paralympic team within two years.

Known as 'The Armless Archer,' he holds the Guinness world record for the longest accurate shot at 283.5 meters, and won Paralympic gold in compound open at Paris 2024 after silver in London 2012.

Markus Rehm

Augment Profile

Right below-knee carbon-blade prosthetic · Össur Cheetah Xtend

Rehm lost his right lower leg at 14 in a wakeboarding accident involving a motorboat. He returned to sport as a competitive long jumper and sprinter, training alongside able-bodied athletes in Leverkusen.

Known as 'The Blade Jumper,' he has won four consecutive Paralympic long-jump gold medals from London 2012 through Paris 2024 and holds the T64 world record at 8.72m, set in 2023.

His best jump would have won every Olympic long-jump final since 1992, but the IAAF/World Athletics has barred him from able-bodied competition pending biomechanical proof his blade provides no advantage.
