Rio 2016 | Watch: Chinese diver He Zi's boyfriend proposes to her after she wins a medal
It's the second engagement to take place at a Rio Games venue, following that of Brazilian rugby player Isadora Cerullo and girlfriend Marjorie Enya.
China's ace woman diver He Zi had just collected her silver medal at the Rio Olympics but her boyfriend and teammate Qin Kai, in front of a global TV audience, sprang a surprise by going down on one knee and proposing with a diamond ring, marking the second marriage proposal at the ongoing Games.
Just moments after receiving her silver medal in Sunday's 3m springboard event, 25-year-old He was asked to take a very different kind of plunge by Qin, a fellow Olympic diver.
"We've been dating for over six years," He told reporters.
"I didn't know that he would propose today, and I didn't expect that I would marry myself out so early," an overwhelmed He said while wiping tears from her eyes.
Qin, a bronze medalist in the men's synchronized 3m springboard, also gave his wife-to-be a red rose encased in glass.
Here is the video of how it went down:
