Sports are not the only exciting thing you may witness at the Olympics. You may also witness an adorable proposal like the one between Pablo Simonet and his girlfriend Maria Campoy. The Argentinian handball player proposed to his girlfriend in the midst of a group photo.
An Olympics Proposal For The Books
While Maria Campoy’s field hockey team defeated Team USA days later, I have a feeling that the excitement of her engagement may have been her favorite victory of the week. This romantic moment occurred on July 24, as the Argentinia handball and field hockey teams gathered for a group photo.
In the video, you can see Pablo step out from the group and head towards the front. There is a moment of confusion before he turns to face the group and gets down on one knee. Cheers erupt as all eyes turn towards Maria with expectant excitement.
Maria steps up to the front, gleefully surprised. She responds with the word we all wanted to hear, “Yes!” The couple then engages in a heartfelt embrace as they savor this sweet moment. Pablo shares his excitement on Instagram with the video and this heartfelt caption, in Spanish:
“The woman of my life said yes to me. In the dreamed place, where everything arose and where we fought so hard to be. Happiness is total, thank you friends, and few accomplices for making this special and being able to keep this for ourselves forever. Paris is always a good idea.”
Olympics, Love, And Victory
The post has gotten a lot of love, with over 88,000 likes and a swarm of positive comments from their teammates and strangers alike. The couple has been together since 2015 and is clearly excited to be moving forward to the next stage of their relationship.
Even though the Argentinian handball team lost against Norway, this magical Olympics proposal leaves Pablo with some very fond memories of this year’s Olympic season. As for Maria, this may be her final year at the Olympics. She told People about the day she was offered a spot on the team, “But after the call, I didn’t hesitate. I talked it over with Pablo, and I told him, ‘I want to end my career in the best way possible.'” With a victory and an Olympic proposal, I’d say Maria is off to a great start on that wish.
