About

Malo e lelei and Greetings to you all.

My name is Hans Arne Jensen, born of Danish and Tongan descent, residing in, and representing the Kingdom of Tonga.
I honestly can’t think of a time where I wasn’t in love and completely captivated with bows and arrows, but the actual sport of archery found its way into my life when I was 11 years old and I have been active in many capacities of the sport ever since.
I’ve been competing quite regularly for the last 15 years. The highlight of my career will always be the Rio Olympics 2016 where I shot against my idol Sjef Van Den Berg and he reminded me why he was the guy I idolised.
Outside the Archery world, I am a full-time father to two beautiful girls and a husband to a very patient wife.
Huge fan of music; from lyricism in hip hop to early Elvis Presley. The standup comedy GOAT Dave Chapelle. Honestly just a huge fan of Art in general. AND of course I love sports! Die hard fan of Golden state warriors in the NBA and the Chiefs in Rugby.
Farmer and builder/carpenter contractor by trade.
I’ve found myself in some Politics, Human rights initiatives and have participated as a Youth Parliamentarian and a Tongan UNFPA representative to the ICPD Summit 2020.
All in all, I look forward to working with you all in pushing for the sport we all love.

I have been Treasurer of WAO since 2020. I joined the sport of Archery in 2004 as an athlete, became a member of the Executive Board of World Archery Fiji in 2014, and have held the position of President since 2019. I am a WA certified Level 2 coach, and have served as Team Manager to the Pacific Mini Games.

Regarding work, I have 12 years of experience as a software developer, and own a financial technology company, based in Suva. 

I have three sons who keep me busy, but in my spare time I enjoy reading, and am a huge fan of the science fiction and fantasy genres. 

My involvement of archery started in 2009 when my son brought home an “Archery in Schools” paper for our local club. In 2011 I became the club’s secretary, five years later I was elected onto the board of ArcheryNZ as the National Secretary. It was at this time that I attended the World Archery Oceania Congress in Auckland; it was here that I was elected as the Secretary General for WAO.

I have organised seven ArcheryNZ Indoor Nationals events hosted by our local club, along with being part of the Administration Team for ArcheryNZ Outdoor Nationals. 

My husband Tony and I started shooting in 2014, with Tony shooting recurve and me shooting compound. 

I have three adult children with one grandson.  For the last 29 years my work has been as care giver/support worker caring for all age groups in our community/hospital and residential homes, a role I find very rewarding.

For relaxation I enjoy sewing for my grandson, daughters and friends.

My name is Adam Kaluzny, originally from Poland and settled down in New Zealand in 2006. My adventure with archery started in Invercargill (Southland) in 2013 in the local Southland Archery Club. Over the years archery became an important part of my life with my first big event as World Master Games in Auckland 2017. Over the next few years, I was able to represent New Zealand on a few international events including the 2018 Oceania Championship (Noumea, New Caledonia) where I could meet with many members of the Oceania archery community. Since then, it has always been a pleasure to be among like minded people from many Oceania countries.

Also, since 2017 I was involved in the judging part of archery and in 2023 I passed the Continental Judge exam. It’s a great opportunity to be involved in the sport and people and give back to the community.

By profession I’m a geologist, I’ve completed my MSc and PhD in geology at the Wroclaw University in Poland. On a daily basis I’m working as a Mine Geologist in Southland.

Bula Maleka and G’day.

I began my archery journey in 1997 when I went with my late father to his club shoot in Pacific Harbour. I usually joined him, since I liked fishing along the riverbank beside the shooting range while he practiced.

He asked whether I wanted to give it a try. The moment I released my first arrow, I was hooked—ever since, I’ve competed in national, regional, and international tournaments, as well as participated in three Olympic Games.

Achieving success in archery, much like in any area of life, requires a strong support system. I have been particularly fortunate and blessed to receive unwavering encouragement from my wonderful wife—the mother of our six children—as well as from many family members and friends who have supported us throughout the years.

It is an honour and a privilege to have been elected as the athletes’ representative, ensuring that athletes’ perspectives remain central to decision-making processes.
