Luann Ryon Biography

Luann Ryon is one of the most popular and richest Archer who was born on January 13, 1953 in Long Beach, California, United States. Luann Marie Ryon, born January 13, 1953, is an American retired archer who won the gold medal at 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.

“I used not to tell anyone I was a medalist because no one believed me. But now I can tell people that I am a medalist and if they don’t believe me, I can tell them, Google me.

“I spent one morning session with the Russian coach, standing, watching me, taking notes while I shot 36 arrows, and I shot pretty good. And I thought, If I can do that with that kind of scrutiny, I started to feel pretty good about what was going to happen at the Games. And then, of course, the first day, the first morning I shot horrible, but I was like in seventh place and not very far out, and that was like the worst I’d shot all spring. I thought, All I have to do is shoot decent, and within a day and a half I had the lead, and then it was like Catch me if you can.”

“We got to Montreal and within two or three days I could barely hit the target. I had no idea what I was doing there, what was going on, but we were with the U.S. team. We were there a few days before the Opening Ceremony, you know, to get acclimated, get all your uniforms and everything. We didn’t compete until the very end of the Games, so I had like three weeks. I practiced in the morning with the team, and then in the afternoon with John and his wife, and just before the tournament started, right before we actually started shooting, I started to get things back together.”

It was also one of my best distances. Once we started shooting at 50 meters, I knew. To win, I would need to experience something bad.”

“There were a lot of nerves that third night, a lot of nerves. I didn’t sleep well. John came and got me. We went to A & W. He said I was a real basket case.

Once I started shooting and got into the rhythm of things, I knew I was ok.”
