2016 Summer Olympics Boari secured two qualification spots for her country in the final world qualification tournament for the 2016 Summer Olympics, delivering the shot that claimed victory over Chinese Taipei to give Italy a full Olympic berth of three archers. Boari was subsequently chosen as part of the Italian squad alongside fellow Olympic debutants
Claudia Mandia and
Guendalina Sartori in July 2016. At the Olympic Games the following month, Boari competed in the
women's individual and
women's team events. With teammates Mandia and Sartori, Boari successfully progressed to the semi-finals in the women's team competition, defeating the
Brazilian and
Chinese teams before losing to
Russia. In the bronze medal match their opponents
Chinese Taipei were too strong, and the Italian trio finished the competition in fourth place. Boari was however much less successful in the individual tournament, and after placing seventh in the ranking round lost to Australia's
Alice Ingley in the opening elimination round.

the Mediterranean Games, defeating the Spain's Mónica Galisteo Cruz in the final. The following year she competed in the
European Games, where in the
women's individual event she achieved the sixth seed in the 72-arrow ranking round before advancing through the elimination rounds to the gold medal final. She was defeated in the final by compatriot Tatiana Andreoli, earning the silver medal as runner-up.
2020 Summer Olympics In 2021, she won the bronze medal at the
2020 Summer Olympics in the
women's individual event. At the same time, she came out as lesbian, revealing that Dutch archer
Sanne de Laat is her girlfriend. ==References==
