An athlete with no arms competing in para archery won a Paralympic record score of 149.

You wouldn’t believe your eyes when you see athletes with physical impairments performing as skillfully as anyone else. Some lift the bow with their feet, while others pull the string with their mouths, showing their incredible adaptability and determination. It’s nothing but inspiring.

Para archery, open to individuals with a range of physical disabilities, proves that limitations are only barriers if you let them be. 

What’s even more remarkable is their ability to overcome physical challenges with sheer focus and precision. Whether they’re shooting from a wheelchair or using unique techniques, para archers redefine what’s possible. Watching them compete at events like the Paralympic Games reminds us of the resilience and strength of the human spirit.

Archery proves that talent, hard work, and passion can break through any barrier. These athletes remind us all that greatness comes from within, regardless of the challenges we face.
