L’amour continues to be in the air in Paris with yet another marriage proposal from Olympians. The latest to get engaged was Team USA shot putter Payton Otterdahl, who dropped to one knee and popped the question to girlfriend Maddy in the most scenic of spots, at the base of the Eiffel Tower.
Maddy said yes and the newly engaged couple celebrated with a kiss under the famous monument. It’s not the first proposal we’ve seen at the Paris Games. The boyfriend of China’s badminton star Huang Yaqiong popped the question just moments after she had won gold in the mixed doubles to her surprise — of course, she said yes too.
Huang returns home to China a gold medalist having won silver three years ago and engaged. And two of Argentina’s athletes — handball’s Pablo Simonet and hockey’s Maria Campoy — got engaged in the Olympic Village.
