.....and stay bold?

You will also need to apply to :visited for this, e.g., using the bold value to help visually identify visited links in addition to default color: change.

Might also be a good idea to specifically declare the initial value and not trust defaults

You get a little more control over defining bold by using numeric values.

W3C - font-weight: [w3.org]

ol li a {
font-weight: 400;
}

ol li a:visited {
font-weight: 800;
}

ol li a:active {
font-weight: 800;
}
