Archer Khatuna Lorig will compete for Team USA in Beijing but has represented two other countries in past Olympics: Russia in 1992 (where she won bronze in the team competition) and Georgia in 1996 and 2000.

Lorig, 34, immigrated to the U.S. after the 2000 Sydney Olympics and missed the 2004 Athens competitions because she had not received her U.S. citizenship. Now a fully fledged citizen, she'll return to Games under the U.S. flag.
