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.

Aug 24 (Reuters) - Hana Burzalova may not have won a medal after finishing 28th in the 35 kilometre race walk at the World Athletics Championships, but the Slovak enjoyed a memorable day after team mate Dominik Cerny proposed at the finish line. Cerny, who had finished 19th despite a personal best time in the men's race, got down on one knee with an engagement ring just as Burzalova was approaching the line. Burzalova, whose jaw dropped as she crossed the line, was overcome with emotion before she said yes as Cerny raised his fist in celebration before sweeping her off her feet amid applause. Ever the consummate professional athlete, Burzalova still had the presence of mind to stop her watch for a season best time before she said yes.
