Nathan MacQueen (born 24 June 1991) is a British Paralympic archer. He has competed at the Summer Paralympics.
Career[edit]
A talented sportsman, Nathan was a regular Rugby player for Glasgow Warriors at under 21 level, before a serious motorbike accident left him paralysed at just 18 years old.
Even before his injury, Nathan was a part of Scotland’s archery team. However, after a shoulder injury curtailed his powerlifting and basketball career, his focus switched solely to Archery. Making his international debut just months before Rio 2016, and placing a very respectable 9th.
Following on from this success Nathan has won multiple medals at both European and International levels. 2023 saw Nathan rise up the rankings to world number 1, winning silver at the World Paralympic Championships, and becoming double European Paralympic Champion.[2]
As of February 2024, Nathan trains at Lileshall international training centre, and at his main sponsor's storage facility, Purdie Worldwide, in Bathgate. [3]
