Every fours years I'm glued to my television set while the world's best athletes compete in a myriad of sports. Archery is one of these sports that captivates me. Did you know that Olympic champion Khatuna Lorig taught Jennifer Lawrence how to shoot a bow and arrow? The Hunger Games gets released on Blu-Ray on August 18th and personally I cannot wait!

The Hunger Games global phenomenon has inspired a surging popularity in the sport of archery demonstrated even further by the success of the United States Archery Team at the Olympics, as well as the highly anticipated Blu-ray and DVD release of the film on August 18 from Lionsgate. Team USA member Khatuna Lorig was there at the beginning to teach actress Jennifer Lawrence how to shoot a bow and arrow in preparation for her iconic starring role.
