RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Love is in the air at the Olympic diving pool.
He Zi of China settled for silver in women's 3-meter springboard on Sunday before accepting an even bigger prize: an engagement ring.
He's boyfriend and fellow diver Qin Kai surprised her with a marriage proposal as she stepped off the medal podium. A serious-looking Qin got down on bended knee and appeared to speak at length to He before opening a small box.
Qin took out the ring and after she solemnly nodded yes, Qin slipped it on her finger. He clapped her right hand over her eyes and Qin presented her a red rose encased in glass.
