American swimmer Lilly King, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, received an extra special surprise at the U.S. Olympic trials in Indianapolis. Following her second-place finish in the women’s 200-meter breaststroke, King's longtime boyfriend, former Indiana University swimmer James Wells, proposed to her as she was leaving the pool deck at Lucas Oil Stadium.
In a heartwarming moment captured on video by NBC Sports, Wells expressed his admiration for King's growth both in and out of the pool over the past four years. He reminisced about their journey together, including his decision to move across the country to be with her, before getting down on one knee and asking for her hand in marriage.
