This past Friday (30 July) proved to be monumental for Boari as she became the first Italian woman to win an Olympic medal in archery.
Shortly after her massive achievement, the 24-year-old athlete participated in a video press conference to discuss her historic win.
However, the press conference was cut short when a special Facebook message from Dutch archer Saane De Laat was transmitted through. “Congratulations!
It’s super, super, super amazing and I’m so proud of you,” Laat exclaimed. “I can’t wait until you’re here so I can give you the biggest hug there is.
