Darrell Pace

Darrell Pace is a former American archer, born on 23 October 1956, who won two individual Olympic titles and two individual world titles. In 2011, as part of its 80th anniversary celebration, the World Archery Federation named him Archer of the Century. He joined the US team at the world championships at 16, won four straight national titles from 1973 to 1976, took the Olympic gold in 1976 and, after missing the 1980 Games in the American boycott, won again in 1984 by an easy margin. At the 1988 Olympics he finished ninth individually and won a team silver with Richard McKinney and Jay Barrs. He held the total FITA world record for fourteen years, and a park in Hamilton, Ohio, is named after him.
