Three-Year-Old Miracle Kid Dolly Cherukuri Sets National Record In Archery


Dolly Shivani Cherukuri, an archer from Andhra Pradesh set a national record as she became the youngest Indian to score 200 points over five and seven-metre distances and made an entry into the India Book of Records on Tuesday, March 24.



Dolly is only 35 months old.

While toddlers her age are mostly occupied with potty training, Dolly is busy mastering the art of archery. She was conceived through surrogacy after the death of her siblings. Three years ago, on April 2, she was born in a world of bows and arrows.

"It's a record which will be difficult to break," said Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury of the India Book of Records, according to a Hindustan Times report.

Her intense expression just before shooting an arrow is enough to bring a smile on anyone's face.

The talent however seems to be in the genes. Dolly's brother Cherukuri Lenin who died in a road accident soon after the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games, was an Indian coach and an international archer. Dolly's father, Cherukuri Satyanarayana runs the Volgra Archery Academy in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh.

Dolly's eldest sister's untimely death in 2004 and her brother's demise made Satyanarayana and his wife to think about a surrogate baby. The child was destined to be an archer before she was born.

"When we came to know that the baby was on her way we decided to mould her as an archer," says Satyanarayana.

"The preparations started when she was in the womb itself," Hindustan Times quoted him as saying.
