Darrell Pace

Pace won Olympic individual gold in Montreal in 1976 and again in Los Angeles in 1984, with world titles in 1975 and 1979 between them. In his era there were no head-to-head matches: the Olympic event was a double FITA round of 288 arrows over four days, so the pressure was a slow squeeze rather than a single shoot-off, and any wobble showed up in the total. World Archery later named him its Archer of the Century, and his record is the benchmark for sustained composure before the knockout format existed.
