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]
