Hans Arne Jensen (born 25 February 1998) is a Tongan competitive archer.[1] Representing his nation Tonga at the 2015 World Championships and at the 2016 Summer Olympics, Jensen trained under the tutelage of his Danish father and head coach Hans Jensen.[2] [3]
At the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Jensen became the first Tongan archer to compete in an Olympic tournament after 12 years, shooting only in the men's individual recurve.[2] [4] Jensen scored 604 points out of a possible 720 to take the sixty-first seed from a field of 64 archers in the qualifying round, before he faced his initial challenge against the eventual fourth-place finalist and world-ranked Dutch archer Sjef van den Berg, abruptly ending his Olympic debut in a dramatic 3–7 defeat.[5] [6]
