Argentine fencer Maria Belen Perez Maurice's coach of 17 years Lucas Guillermo Saucedo proposed to her on the sidelines of the Olympic fencing at Makuhari Messe Hall in Chiba, Japan. Tokyo2020 TokyoOlympics

Argentine fencer Maria Belen Perez Maurice hugs her coach of 17 years Lucas Guillermo Saucedo after he proposed to her on the sidelines of the Olympic fencing at Makuhari Messe Hall in Chiba, Japan.

The moment occurred after Maria Belen Perez Maurice had been knocked out of the Olympics on Monday as Lucas Guillermo Saucedo held up a sign behind the fencer in the background. But Perez Maurice turned around, saw the sign written on a large piece of paper, screamed and gleefully accepted.“They told me to turn around, and he had the letter. I forgot everything. I was like, 'oh my god',” said Perez Maurice, the pair having been together for 17 years.
