You might say Hana Burzalova walked right into this. As the Slovakian race walker crossed the finish line of the 35-kilometer race at world championships, Burzalova was greeted by her boyfriend, Dominik Cerny, who dropped to one knee and asked her to marry him.
Even as she approached the line and saw her fiance in waiting down on his knee, Burzalova made sure to stop her watch before the big ask. She finished in her season-best time of 3 hours, 2 minutes, 47 seconds, good for 28th. Earlier, Cerny had finished in 2:32:56, which is his personal best and was good for 19th.
So, no medals for this couple, but something even better. After he slipped the ring on Burzalova’s finger, Cerny scooped her up and carried her off the course.https://apnews.com/sports The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
