Announcing the Team to compete at the 12th edition of The World Games being held from 7th to 17th August 2025. The host city is the mega-city Chengdu in the People’s Republic of China. Target archery takes place from the 8th to the 9th of August.
Archery NZ and the Selectors would like to congratulate the following athlete and manager on their selection to attend this Olympic Level event.
Riku van Tonder (River Glade Archers) – Mens Compound
Lisa Walker (Independent) – Manager/Coach
Archery NZ is excited with the selection of Riku, his strength of purpose to shoot not only in demanding conditions to finish 9= at World Cup #2 recently held in Shanghai but to achieve this when his equipment had been stolen days before was extraordinary. We are sure Archery NZ members will continue to support him as Riku strives for excellence at the World Games.
Nothing is achievable without support and the Silver Arrows have been a formidable training team. Thank you Ben, Gary and Hector and coach Lisa.
