E! Online interviewed Khatuna Lorig while she trained for the 2012 Olympics in London. She talked about preparing for the Olympics, training Jennifer Lawrence, and her thoughts about how well she did.“I got a call that some actress needed to learn how to shoot an arrow,” she explained. “They didn’t tell me much about it…I was asked to make her shoot like a professional.”
The result was daily hourlong training sessions on the very field that Lorig’s own Olympics training is now taking place.
“Who was she? I had no idea,” she said, explaining that it was her own mother who informed her of the status of her A-list trainee. Her reaction?
“Oh my God, I’m working with a star!” She quickly got up to speed on the Hunger Games series, saying, “I started reading it and got hooked right away.” Which means both she and Lawrence were doing their homework, with the fruits of Jennifer’s labor evident onscreen.
“She did really good,” Lorig explained, praising Lawrence’s believability above other onscreen archers.
“We did not laugh at her,” she said, going on to name no names of those she and her Olympic teammates might’ve spared a chuckle or two for. Still, as good as Lawrence is, Lorig has set her sights on helping the starlet achieve perfection, saying she’d love to continue her training and make her “even more glamorous with a bow.”
