Archery is a lesser-known sport in New Zealand, but we're about to speak to a local player who's been turning heads on the global stage for the last few years.
Riku van Tonder took out third place in the Las Vegas Shoot in 2019 - just a few years after picking up the bow as a mental health tool. He's since been sponsored to compete across the states and around the world.
Riku is one of three local players who will be vying for spots at the World Games in this weekend's Oceania qualifiers this weekend.Competitors are also landing in Auckland from Australia, Fiji, Tahiti and Tonga.
Riku shares his story with Jesse Mulligan.
