Questions have been raised against the organisers, with athletes expressing their discontent about many internal issues. Keeping aside these controversies, a few good things are happening at the Games. One such event unfolded after the women’s 3000m steeplechase final on Tuesday, august 6. French sprinter Alice Finot stole the show in the race as she broke the european record with a time of 8:58.67. She, however, finished fourth and failed to claim any medal. Despite the disappointment, it was certainly a memorable evening for Finot. Once the race was over, the 33-year-old went running to her boyfriend, who was present at the arena to cheer for her.
In a heartwarming twist, Finot went down on one knee to propose to her partner. A video featuring the beautiful moment was later dropped on X with the caption– “French athlete came in fourth in the 3000m steeplechase, a european record, and asked for her boyfriend’s hand.”The clip opened with Finot taking out a cute badge, which was kept with one of her friends. Fans in the nearby stands might have predicted what would happen next. They went on to encourage the French runner. She then sat on the sidelines while holding the ring in her hand. It appeared to be an emotional moment for her boyfriend as well. The guy was in tears as he shared a tight hug with Finot. The crowd was moved by the adorable proposal and started cheering for the couple.
