Two year-old Indian sets archery record

A new national record in archery has been set in India; by a two year-old girl.
Dolly Shivani Cherukuri became the youngest Indian to score more than 200 points at a trial event on Tuesday.
She made a total of 388 points firing  36 arrows at a target 5m away, then again at a target 7m away.
Her achievement was witnessed by India Book of Records officials.
Dolly’s father said she had been trained since birth to be a champion.
When they found out they had a baby on the way, they decided that they would train and mould her to be a top archer.
“My daughter achieved the feat we have been dreaming… I can’t express in words how happy my family is,” her father said.
He said they would now try to get Dolly’s name entered into the Guinness Book  World Records.
