AT the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020, a quiet girl from Jalna, Maharashtra had taken up a bow for the first time.

- CHANDRA PRABHU @ Chennai

AT the height of the COVID pandemic in 2020, a quiet girl from Jalna, Maharashtra had taken up a bow for the first time. The bow might have weighed at least 18 kilograms, but that didn't act as a deterrent as the then 13-year-old was drawn by the 'machinery' in the sport. Little would she have known then that she would go on to etch her name in the record books just five years later.

The girl in question is Tejal Salve, a promising compound archer from the country.
