From Silver to Diamond: Chinese diver He Zi gets engaged after winning silver medal at the Olympics (photos)

Chinese Olympian He Zi who won silver in the Diving race at the ongoing Olympics, got a diamond ring from her longtime boyfriend, Qin Kai, moments after she received her silver medal at the award podium. No sooner had Zi stepped down from the podium, Qin got down on one knee to pop the question in front of the crowd and global TV. Luckily, He Zi said yes and hearts melted throughout the grandstand.

Qin held up a small red box with a ring, slipped the ring on He's finger and handed her a rose contained in a glass case. "I didn't know he would propose today and I didn't expect to marry myself off so early. I've forgotten most of what he said [during the proposal], but it was largely what you might have expected, like promises, but what touched me the most was that he said he was willing to be 'bullied' by me for life."

Zi told newsmen afterwards He Zi has been dating the 30-year-old Qin for the past six years. The couple received a big cheer from the crowd as they left the pool. Athletes from other countries came forward to Zi to congratulate her and admire the ring.
