SHE'S only 16 but Megan Havers will be targeting gold for Team GB in the Olympic archery event in Paris.
The schoolgirl, who shot her first arrow while on a caravan holiday, had to combine her training and competitions in the sport with her GCSE exams this summer.
Just weeks after attending her prom, Megan will take her place as the youngest member of the six-person archery squad in France.
She said: "I can't believe it. When I had my prom, no one knew I was going to the Olympics because it hadn't been announced yet and when I go back to school I will be an Olympian. I just can't get my head around how that works."
