Samuli Piippo (born 1 January 1980) is a Finnish competitive archer.[1] A late beginner in competitive archery, Piippo made his debut on the Finnish national team at the age of 33, and roused a major surprise in his sporting career by booking one of the three individual Olympic places to Rio 2016 at the European Championships in Nottingham, Great Britain.[2] While training full-time at a local archery range in his current residence Oulu, Piippo works as a web applications designer for an information technology firm.[3]
Piippo was selected to compete for Finland in the men's individual recurve at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[2][4] Sitting at fifty-fourth position from the initial stage of the competition with a score of 636 points, Piippo lost his opening round match to the eleventh-seeded German archer Florian Floto, who successfully dispatched him through a comfortable 6–0 challenge.[5][6]
