"I'm really heartbroken," the 20-year-old from Wigan said tearfully on camera after finishing sixth in her event.
Her emotions then took a u-turn when Paul Bradshaw popped the question.
"6th in the Olympics and @bradshaaaw proposes to me :) epic day!!!," she wrote on Twitter.
He also tweeted: "I have just proposed to @HollyBleasdale and she said yes!!!!! Best day ever!"
Spaeking about her London 2012 experience Holly said: "I felt like I could have jumped 4.70m but I struggled to cope with the conditions, there was a really bad headwind and then, all of a sudden, there was a strong crosswind.
"You can't be too disappointed to finish in the top eight of an Olympic final I suppose but I wanted more.
"I am really privileged to have competed in front of a crowd like this. I think I was lacking experience, as when the other girls come to a competition they know what to expect, and I don't. Hopefully, by Rio, I will be at the top of my game."
