There are dramatic marriage proposals - and then there's proposing during the biggest sporting competition in the world.
Chinese diver He Zi had just received a silver medal for the women's three-metre springboard at the Rio Olympics on Sunday.
But she ended up with an even bigger prize when her boyfriend Qin Kai, in front of a global TV audience, went down on one knee.
Luckily for Qin, who himself won bronze in the men's three-metre synchronised springboard last week, He Zi said yes.
"We've been dating for six years, but I didn't expect him to propose today," she said. "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."
