Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence taught archery skills
She makes it look easy, but The Hunger Games actress Jennifer Lawrence has this lady to thank for her archery skills.
Olympic archer Khatuna Lorig helped the Hollywood star to use a bow and arrow:
SOUNDBITE: Khatuna Lorig on working with Lawrence, saying, (English):
"She is a good learner and very professional, dedicated, she doesn't give up easy. A few shots were painful for her but she would come back and try again and a good listener and a very good personality. She makes you feel like you are her best friend and that you know her a long time, so you feel very comfortable with her to work. You don't realize that this is a movie star who was nominated for an Oscar."
In preparation at one point hardworking Jennifer was shooting up to 100 arrows a day in an effort to perfect her technique.
And after seeing the results of her hardwork on the big screen, Khatuna is impressed:
SOUNDBITE: Khatuna Lorig, saying, (English):
"The first thing I said is 'Wow, she is my student, number one, and number two, she looks just like me, my technique. Just the way I shoot.' I have good friends tell me that someone had to coach her who knows archery really well. They were surprised to find out that I was her coach."
While The Hunger Games has hit the jackpot at the box office - Khatuna is hoping to hit the bullseye at this Summer's Olympics in London.
