A resurfaced video of an Ironman Triathlon competitor proposing to his partner while suffering intense cramps has sparked a debate, with some praising the athlete while others declared the gesture the “least romantic” proposal they’d ever seen.
In the viral video, which was re-shared this week by Instagram account @goodnews_movement, it shows the 2021 moment that the competitor, identified by Triathlon Magazine as Spain’s Cristian Moriatiel, crossed the finish line after the grueling Ironman race in Talinn, Estonia, only to immediately attempt to get down on one knee and propose to his girlfriend.
