In a heartwarming moment at the Olympic Games, Alessia Maurelli, captain of the Italian rhythmic gymnastics team, received a surprise marriage proposal from her boyfriend, Massimo Bertelloni, right after winning a bronze medal.

The proposal took place in front of a cheering crowd at the Arena Porte de la Chapelle in Paris, making the occasion even more memorable.

Maurelli, who has been a pivotal figure in her team, leading them to success after a previous disappointment in Rio, was visibly moved by the gesture.

The couple, together for two years, were celebrated on the arena's big screen, receiving congratulations from the audience.

This marks a significant personal milestone for Maurelli, who is competing in her last Olympics as part of the Italian Air Force team.
