Areneo David is a Malawian competitive archer.[1] At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, David etched a historic mark for Malawi as the first ever archer to compete in an Olympic tournament, shooting only in the men's individual recurve through a tripartite invitation.[2] For the 72-arrow qualifying round, David discharged 603 points out of a possible 720 to take the sixty-second spot from a field of 64 archers, before he faced his initial challenge against the third-seeded Italian archer David Pasqualucci, which led to his abrupt departure from the tournament at 0–6.[3][4]
