Viktor Ruban

Ruban became world champion in Madrid in 2005, then won Olympic gold in Beijing three years later by a single point over Korea's Park Kyung-mo. That 2008 final was among the last Olympic matches decided on cumulative score before the set system arrived, so every arrow counted to the end and there was no resetting after a poor end. Ukraine's only Olympic archery champion is a fine study in staying level across a whole match.
