Elder competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in men's individual archery. He was defeated in the first round of elimination, placing 48th overall.[1] He also qualified for the 2012 Summer Olympics in the men's individual archery, coming 63 in the ranking round, before almost pulling off a shock comeback over Korean Kim Bub-min (who had earlier won a bronze in the team event). After being 4-0 down, before losing 6–4 in the deciding set in the 1/32 elimination round, needing to shoot 10 for victory, he could only manage a 6.[2]
