Precision Sports

John Walker, born John Stewart Walker on 5 September 1974, is a disabled British archer who won two gold medals at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, in the men's W1 individual compound and in the mixed team compound W1. He was appointed MBE in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to archery. His English Wikipedia article continues with his earlier career and results, which this entry does not repeat, so it records the Rio titles and the honour and leaves further detail until a source that covers it in more detail is found.
