Paralympian Matt Stutzman on Para Archery

We are thrilled to talk para archery with three-time Paralympian Matt Stutzman. Matt, who is also known as the Armless Archer, won a silver at London 2012, was 4th at Rio and placed 9th at Tokyo. He has also competed and medaled at multiple world championships. We talked with him about how the sport works, what strategies competitors use and the advice Olympian Michael Johnson gave him.

Follow Matt on Twitter, Insta and Facebook. And check out his cherry-on-top BOOM in Team USA's 2021 Paralympic commercial.

In our Seoul 1988 history moment, Alison looks back at the women's team archery event, another first for women at these Games - plus a country first!

In our visit to TKFLASTAN, we hear from:

• Nordic combined athlete Annika Malacinski - congrats on your 2022/23 season!
• Race walker Evan Dunfee
• Wheelchair curler Steve Emt

And a reminder that "The Magnificent Seven" starts on March 31 at the Flint Repertory Theatre.

We've reached the 500 days to go mark for Paris 2024! The next phase of the ticket lottery is opening up, so sign up here and examine the catalog for ticket prices.
