Dominik Cerny proposed to Hana Burzalova as they both finished their respective races
It's not all and always about medals, records... Love is in the air at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest as two Slovakian racewalkers got engaged at the finish line.
Dominik Cerny awaited Hana Burzalova, who was just crossing the finish line at the end of Thursday's 35km race walk, with a ring in his hands and down on one knee.
Love's not a competition, but 🇸🇰's Dominik Černý and Hana Burzalova are winning today 🥰
