Meaning and background
The story behind Bobae
Bobae appears in official Olympic archery records as the given-name spelling of KI Bobae of the Republic of Korea. The Rio 2016 results book records her world-record score of 686 for the 72-arrow, 70-metre round, achieved in Gwangju in 2015. This makes the name an identifiable sporting tribute for someone who follows archery. The result establishes that exact Roman-letter form, while leaving its linguistic meaning unconfirmed here. Korean characters and translations should be checked separately rather than inferred from the athlete’s score or nationality.
