Tokyo Olympics: Argentine Fencer Accepts Marriage Proposal in Front of TV Cameras
News 18Argentine fencer Maria Belen Perez Maurice accepted a marriage proposal from her long-term partner and coach in front of television cameras at the Olympics on Monday, the second time he had posed the question in similar fashion. The athlete, after a first-round exit in her third Olympics, was disappointedly answering questions from reporters when her coach, Lucas Saucedo, appeared behind her with a piece of paper in his hand reading “Do you want to marry me?”. “We’re going to celebrate it in Argentina around a big asado.” It was a great end to a day which started with a 15-12 loss to Hungarian Anna Marton in the women’s sabre event. On Sunday, Germany football forward Max Kruse successfully asked his girlfriend to marry him on live TV after his team’s 3-2 win over Saudi Arabia.
