Olympian Proposes To Partner At Rio

An Olympic champion diver from China has proposed to his girlfriend – a fellow Olympian – at this year's ceremony in Rio.

On Sunday, Chinese diver He Zi had just stepped onto the podium and received a silver medal for the women's three-metre springboard when her boyfriend, Qin Kai, appeared before her, going down on one knee.


He asked his partner of six years to marry him – in front of a global television audience. She said yes.

Zi is quoted by the media as saying: "We've been dating for six years, but I didn't expect him to propose today. He said a lot of things, made a lot of promises, but I think the thing that touched me the most is I think this is the guy I can trust for the rest of my life."
