Get used to saying, and pronouncing, the name Dolly Shivani Cherukuri.
That's because the young girl just became on of the world's latest archery champions. How young is she? That would be 2-years-old. On Tuesday, she became the youngest-ever Indian to score over 200 points at a trial event. She didn't just eek out a victory, either: She scored 388 points in all.
According to the BBC, she shot 36 arrows at a target 5 meters away, then did it again from 7 meters away.
It was all witnessed by an official with the India Book of Records. And there are some pictures:

According to reports, the family decided to groom young Cherukuri for archery when she was still in the womb.
"When we came to know that the baby was on her way we decided to mould her as an archer," her father, who also runs an archery academy in India, said.
"My daughter achieved the feat we have been dreaming... I can't express in words how happy my family is," he added.
Her success runs in the family. Her brother was once an archery champion and coach, but was killed in a car accident.
