Justin Huish

Justin Huish is an American archer, born on 9 January 1975 in Fountain Valley, California, who won both the individual and the team gold medals at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Ranked no higher than 24th in the world beforehand, he beat Sweden's Magnus Pettersson 112 to 107 in the individual final, and he was the first male archer to win double gold at one Games, a feat later matched by Ku Bon-chan in 2016 and Kim Woo-jin in 2024. He was known for wrap-around shades, a backwards baseball cap and a ponytail, and his wins gave the sport a popularity boost. He took up archery at 14 after his parents opened Arrowsmith Archery, and he qualified for the 2000 Olympics but withdrew later that year.
