Matt Stutzman, the U.S. Paralympic archer born without arms profiled across major media, is already looking ahead after being eliminated in the round of 16 in Rio.
“Next up is Tokyo 2020, and that’s what I have to start thinking about,” Stutzman, 33, said Wednesday. “Days like today, they happen.”
Four years ago, Stutzman qualified as the top seed into the London Paralympic bracket rounds and took silver, losing in the final against Finland’s Jere Forsberg, who competed in a wheelchair but with both arms.
On Wednesday, Stutzman finished three wins shy of a medal.
