CNN —The road to a marriage proposal can be a long and winding one.
Both Dominik Černý and Hana Burzalova were in Budapest, Hungary, competing for their country in the race walking events for men and women at the World Athletics Championships.
Černý celebrated with a fist pump to the sky after slipping the ring onto the 22-year-old’s finger.
The couple posed for photos shortly afterwards, with Burzalova proudly showing off her new ring for the cameras.
They might have not won any medals in their respective race walking events, but both Černý and Burzalova will travel home with a much more meaningful memento.
