Alice Finot has had quite the Olympics for her native France in Paris, even if she didn’t medal in the 3000m steeplechase on Wednesday.
She broke the European record in the steeplechase, and after her fourth-place finish, she found her boyfriend in the crowd. Then? She got down on one knee and proposed to him.
You can see how stunned he is as she pulls something — a pin, I think? — out of a pouch behind her nametag. They hug, she pins him and then they kiss. It’s awesome.
Check out the moment and the photos that I’m sure they’ll love seeing long after these Olympics:
