Bochori competed only in the women's 50 m freestyle at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. She achieved a FINA B-standard of 26.09 from Akropolis International Meet in Athens.[2] She challenged seven other swimmers in heat seven, including Finland's 15-year-old Hanna-Maria Seppälä and Singapore's three-time Olympian Joscelin Yeo. Bochori closed out the field to last place in 26.90, almost a full second behind leader Jana Kolukanova of Estonia. Bochori failed to advance into the semifinals, as she placed forty-third out of 74 swimmers in the prelims.[3][4][5]
