Argentine fencer receives marriage proposal after losing his fight
Argentine fencer MarĂa BelĂ©n PĂ©rez Maurice missed her chance to win a medal at the Tokyo Olympics on Monday.
But after their match, her boyfriend had a surprise.
The 36-year-old fencer will leave the Olympics with a ring, after accepting a surprise marriage proposal from her coach and partner.
PĂ©rez Maurice was in the middle of his post-match interview, following her 15-12 loss to Hungarian Anna Marton in the women's singles saber, when Lucas Guillermo Saucedo proposed with a large handwritten note that read "Do you want to marry me? ".
In the images that were shared on the Internet, she is seen as she turns around, sees the message and screams before quickly accepting the marriage proposal of her partner of 17 years, who got down on her knees.
The couple hugged and shared a kiss.
"They (the press) told me to turn around, and he had the letter. I forgot everything. I was like 'oh my God,'" PĂ©rez Maurice told reporters.
"We are very happy. We are very good partners. Of course, we have fights, but we enjoy each other. We love each other very much and we want to spend our lives together."
