French athlete Alice Finot proposed to her boyfriend after the women’s 3000m steeplechase final. After finishing the race with a personal best time of 8 minutes and 58.67 seconds, Finot went up to her boyfriend in the stands. She gave him a pin badge she had prepared and knelt.

Finot shared, “I told myself that if I ran under nine minutes, knowing that nine is my lucky number and that we’ve been together for nine years, then I would propose.” The pin badge she gave had the inscription saying, “Love is in Paris.”

Earlier, a heartwarming scene unfolded at the badminton venue. After China’s Huang Yaqiong clinched a gold medal in mixed doubles, Liu Yucheng took the stage to propose.

The proposals from both couples added a touching layer to the Olympic spirit, creating a memorable moment where sports and love beautifully intertwined.
