Rio 2016 | Watch: Chinese diver He Zi's boyfriend proposes to her after she wins a medal

China's ace woman diver He Zi had just collected her silver medal at the Rio Olympics but her boyfriend and teammate Qin Kai, in front of a global TV audience, sprang a surprise by going down on one knee and proposing with a diamond ring, marking the second marriage proposal at the ongoing Games.

Just moments after receiving her silver medal in Sunday's 3m springboard event, 25-year-old He was asked to take a very different kind of plunge by Qin, a fellow Olympic diver.

"We've been dating for over six years," He told reporters.

"I didn't know that he would propose today, and I didn't expect that I would marry myself out so early," an overwhelmed He said while wiping tears from her eyes.

Qin, a bronze medalist in the men's synchronized 3m springboard, also gave his wife-to-be a red rose encased in glass.

Here is the video of how it went down:
