Two-year-old Dolly Shivani Cherukuri, set a new national record in archery, on Tuesday, becoming the youngest Indian to score 200 points over five and seven-metre distances according to Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury of the India Book of Records.
According to reports, the two-year-old groomed from birth to be an archery champion after the tragic death of her older siblings.
Dolly was conceived through surrogacy after the death of her brother, an international archer and coach, in a road accident in 2010. The couple's eldest daughter had died in 2004.
Dolly's parents said they had arrows specially made for her out of carbon when she was first learning the sport to ensure she could carry them.
Pictures showed the toddler posing for photographers with her golden medal and certificate after she fired 72 arrows in all in 24 attempts over the 5-metre and 7-metre distances.
