APAC Insider- Publication Name | 7 Atop Olna’s success as a business manager taking a stand against sexism in the sports industry, she has been a driving force behind the IGANZ Women brand, which inevitably diversifies the sport and gives women and girls the chance to live out their long drive dreams. Both the Aussie Long Ballers and the New Zealand Long Blacks are home to women’s teams, and Olna has fully supported their development over the last eight years. This much can be said for the IGANZ Kids brand, where children are encouraged to explore their passion for the sport from a young age – giving them the sturdy foundation needed to grow up more able to compete in professional leagues. Additionally, Fruit Guys, a sponsor of the IGANZ Kids events since 2016, continue to provide fresh fruit for young ones and audiences across New Zealand. By cultivating an environment of strength and nourishment for people of all ages and identities, Olna, IGANZ, and XDL deliver a path to success and allow individuals to live out their athletic visions. New Zealand is historically proud of its contribution to the sports landscape and, partnered with international organisations such as wiistream and Kingsman and NZ partners such as Mercedes Benz North Shore, Exact Earthmoving, PowerVault, All Stone and Rock, Westend Concrete, and more, XDL continues to support the athletic ecosystem of the country. Olna gives a special thanks to Mercedes Benz North Shore who has been the Luxury Brand providing Olna, her Champions and national teams with Luxury Vehicles in promotion of Olna’s DRIVING Luxury to the Tee vision. With Olna’s support, in addition to backing from international sponsors and investors, the league is guaranteed to continue on its upward trajectory. Setting the pace for the sport, the New Zealand Long Blacks – comprised of the best players in the realm of long drive – will repeatedly gain recognition for their skill and enthusiasm as they make history for their country. Moreover, with North Island Champs, South Island Champs, and New Zealand Champs this December, as well as the Australian Championship Qualifier in Queensland and national team events, coming soon in mid-2025 to represent past, present, and future – and the global launch of the sport – this year has been thrilling, and next year will definitely follow suit. XDL is a multi-award-winning league with such exciting plans coming into fruition for 2025, and more years to come. Because of this, Olna and XDL are guaranteed to contribute magnificent moments to the history of the sport. Just recently, Olna has partnered with Dr. Chenggen Hu, CEO of Wanfront Sports & Media, to develop business plans in Australia and elevate the expansion of XDL worldwide. Dr. Hu, is known for his involvement in major sponsorships and the Wanda Sports Group giant. This partnership is spearheaded by Olna herself, who tells us, “We are honored to welcome Dr. Hu into the XDL family. Together, we will elevate Long Drive in Australia, offering fans unparalleled experiences and redefining the sport on a global scale.” With unique benefits to share with Dr. Hu, XDL Australia is set to skyrocket in 2025, and the venues and dates for Australian events are soon to follow. We’re excited to see XDL’s future unfold as Olna continually supports the company as well as the individuals and teams which surround her. Here’s to a strong future of collaboration and the rich, trailblazing energy and experience Xtreme Drivers League brings to long drive.
