According to Daily Star, after finishing sixth in the men's 40 to 44 age group, the man identified as Cristian Moriatiel got down on his knee, ring in hand, only to collapse in agony.

After being lifted back to his knees, Mr Moriatiel then asked the question. The woman said yes while the crowd cheered them on.

A third jokingly added, "The struggle is real," while a fourth commented, "This is fun, yet painful for the athlete but a life long memory that they will be able to talk about and remember for life. They will tell their kids and laugh out loud together. Best proposal ever!"
