QuoteA two-year-old Indian girl has set a new national record in archery, according to the India Book of Records.

Dolly Shivani Cherukuri from Vijaywada in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh - who turns three next week - became the youngest Indian to score more than 200 points at a trial event on Tuesday, reports the Press Trust of India.

She fired 36 arrows at a target 5m away, then again at a target 7m away, making a total of 388 points.

Her achievement was witnessed by senior sports personalities and India Book of Records officials.

"We are all very proud of her. We are very impressed," Archery Association of India official Gunjan Abrol told the BBC.

"Good for her!", I say to myself, as I die a little inside and consider never picking up my bow again.

She's standing right in front of the target. And is she shooting at pictures of her parents? :P

Well, you might feel resentful too if you'd been forced to shoot a bow regularly from the age of one. :P
