He won the gold medal in the Men's Individual competition in the 1992 Summer Olympics, the 20-year-old European champion defeated all three South Korean archers on his way to the Olympic Title; and also competed in the 1996 Olympic Games and the 2000 Olympic Games. He retired from International competition after the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
In 2009 he came out of retirement, hoping to gain a place at the London 2012 Olympics. However, on 17 March 2012 he announced that he had not been selected and that he was returning to retirement.
