Love is in the air at the Olympic diving pool.
After He Zi earned silver in women’s 3-meter springboard, the Chinese diver accepted a marriage proposal from her boyfriend and fellow diver Qin Kai as she stepped off the medal podium Sunday.
A serious-looking Qin opened a box with a ring inside, took it out and slipped it on He’s finger after she nodded yes.
She clapped her right hand over her mouth and Qin gave her a red rose encased in glass.
The crowd roared in delight as the couple hugged.
