#ThrowbackThursday to 2016 when Gavin Ben Sutherland became the first archer to represent Zimbabwe at the Olympics.
Today, we celebrate Gavin Ben Sutherland, the pioneering archer who etched his name in Zimbabwean sports history. Gavin’s remarkable journey reached new heights when he achieved this milestone.
Gavin’s defining moment came at the 2016 African Championships in Windhoek, Namibia. With a stellar performance, he secured fifth place in the recurve male category, thereby booking Zimbabwe’s spot at the Rio 2016 Olympics. This achievement not only cemented his status as a trailblazer but also paved the way for future generations of Zimbabwean archers.
