China's He Zi received the shock of her life when teammate and boyfriend Qin Kai rushed up with a diamond ring during the medal ceremony of the women's 3 metre springboard event, marking the second marriage proposal of the Olympics.
Qin, who won a bronze medal in his own synchronized diving event last week, climbed up to the stage after He received her silver medal, getting down on one knee while holding a red box with the ring and a glass-encased rose.

'I didn't know he would propose today and I didn't expect myself to marry myself out so early,' said He, who tearfully accepted the proposal with a big hug.
'I saw him during the afternoon and he seemed to be memorising something, so I asked him 'what are you doing?' and he said he was singing,' she told reporters.
