Chinese diver He Zi had a day to remember, first winning an Olympic medal and then receiving a surprise marriage proposal *during* her podium presentation.

The 25-year-old had won silver in the 3m women's springboard final on Sunday when her boyfriend - and fellow Chinese diver Qin Kai - popped the big question during the presentation. The crowd at Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre was on tenterhooks as a rather large amount of time passed for He to come up with her answer. https://twitter.com/RTEsport/status/764943383798304768 Thankfully, she accepted Qin's proposal and the pair embraced to a huge ovation. "This morning, I walked into a room and I found him reciting something," said He according to the BBC . "I asked him what he was doing and he said he was singing. I just didn't know that he was practising proposing. Having someone propose to you during one of the biggest moments of your life is a rather ballsy move. To some people on social media, Qin Kai's proposal was inappropriately timed: https://twitter.com/SamDiss/status/765112263401439232 https://twitter.com/lottelydia/status/765111782914613249 https://twitter.com/marcusjdl/status/764964028632498176 https://twitter.com/hansmollman/status/765117554117472256 But to others, it's just a lovely romantic gesture and we shouldn't be annoyed that two people have promised themselves to each other. https://twitter.com/asaphoon/status/765031796656353280 "He said a lot of things there at the podium", added the silver medalist. "He made a lot of promises, but the thing that has touched me the most is that I think this is the guy I can trust for the rest of my life." Congratulations to them both. Hopefully Qin Kai can work on his timing as he prepares to be a husband.
