BEIJING, Aug. 12 (UPI) -- The top-seeded South Korean archers swept into the Olympic women's quarterfinals Tuesday and so did American Khatuna Lorig.
Lorig is competing in her fourth Olympics but in her first as an American, having become a citizen after leaving her native country of Georgia.
She recorded a 107-105 win over Virginie Arnold of France in the first round and then defeated seventh-seeded Alison Williamson of Britain 112-109. Williamson is a five-time Olympian and won the individual archery bronze four years ago.
Lorig will meet Ana Maria Rendon of Colombia in the quarterfinals Wednesday.
American Jennifer Nichols was knocked out in the second round after equaling the Olympic record of 114 points (out of 120) during a first-round win over Ika Yuliana Rochmawati of Indonesia.
Park Sung-hyun, Joo Hyun-jung and Yun Ok-hee all reached the quarterfinals for South Korea. They joined in winning the team gold medal earlier in the week.
