U.S. Recurve Archer Khatuna Lorig has just added a Pan American Games gold medal to her already impressive record and with the World Championships in Denmark to follow next week she has her sights firmly set on competing in Rio to mark her sixth Olympic Games.  Her Olympic journey began in 1992 when she represented the Soviet Union in Barcelona; then in the 1996 Atlanta Games and 2000 Olympic Games she wore her native flag of Georgia. By 2008 she has become a U.S. citizen and was selected for the Beijing Olympics, where she finished 5th, and was honored as the flag bearer in the closing ceremony, going one better at the 2012 London Olympic Games to finish fourth. Khatuna shares her very personal story of leaving her family in Georgia to start a new life in the US and how she has accomplished an outstanding career.Follow Khatuna on Twitter @KhatunaLorig and visit her online at www.khatunalorig.com.
