Born and raised in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia, Khatuna took up archery in sixth grade. She found success very quickly and began competing at an elite level. At the age of 18, Lorig competed in her first Olympic Games for the Unified Team in the 1992 Barcelona Games where she won a bronze medal in the team competition. Khatuna continued to improve and competed in the 1996 Atlanta Games and 2000 Sydney Games as a member of the Republic of Georgia’s team. Lorig became a United States citizen in 2005, which allowed her to compete in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing as a member of Team USA. She also served as the flag bearer in the Closing Ceremony. In her fifth Olympic Games, Lorig finished in fourth place, just shy of the podium at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

    Confederación Panamericana de Tiro con Arco Boletín Mensual 63/ 63rd Monthly Bulletin Julio 2021/ July 2021 ________________________________ Las competencias de tiro con arco de los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio se realizaron finalmente luego de un año de espera. ¡Qué fabulosa demostración de coraje, disciplina y compromiso la de los 128 deportistas olímpicos y sus entrenadores! Hubo un poco de todo: excelentes puntajes en la clasificación, partidos no aptos para cardiacos, el debut exitoso del evento de equipos mixtos, victorias de los favoritos, las sorpresivas eliminaciones de los mejores ranqueados, viento, lluvia, jóvenes arqueros subiendo a lo más alto del podio, y veteranos ganando medallas. Así es el tiro con arco, y esta es la razón por la cual nuestra presencia en el programa olímpico está muy lejos de ser amenazada. Estamos orgullosos de nuestros diecinueve deportistas: de los que ganaron medallas, de los que ganaron partidos, y de los que no pudieron lograrlo. World Archery Americas felicita a los organizadores japoneses, los voluntarios, a World Archery, a los delegados técnicos y a los oficiales técnicos internacionales por contribuir al éxito total del tiro con arco en los Juegos. Agosto nos presenta nuevos retos. Diez países representarán a América en el Campeonato Mundial de la Juventud en Polonia, solo unos días antes del inicio de los Juegos Paralímpicos – un evento en el estarán siete de nuestros países: Brasil, Canadá, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, México y los Estados Unidos. Les deseamos mucho éxito a todos nuestros participantes en estos dos eventos. The archery competition of the Tokyo Olympic Games has finally happened after a one- year delay.
