Olympics: Footballer Proposes To Girlfriend On TV

Germany Olympics footballer and captain, Max Kruse has proposed to his girlfriend Dilara during a post-match interview on Sunday at the Olympic football tournament.

The development came as it was revealed that 16 new cases of COVID-19 had been reported in the ongoing Olympic Games in Tokyo bringing a scare to competitors and officials.

Kruse, 33, took the microphone from broadcasters ARD, showed a t-shirt with a writing and went down on his knees after a 3-2 win against Saudi Arabia.

“We have been together for a few months, a year actually,” he said with a smile, hoping she was watching back in Germany. “If you can read this I ask you if you want to become my wife?”

Union Berlin striker Kruse said he had initially planned the move after scoring a goal at the Tokyo Games but was not sure if he would find the net at all.

Germany are not assured of a place in the knockout rounds ahead of their final group game against Cote d’Ivoire.

Beside the news of the German footballer, Max Kruse proposing to his girlfriend on live television, it was also emerged on Sunday that the Tokyo Olympics organisers have reported 16 new COVID-19 cases linked to the Games.

The Organising Committee said in their Monday update that three athletes were among those who tested positive.

Organisers did not state which athletes were affected, but said they were not residents of Japan.

The latest numbers bring the total of Olympics-related positive COVID-19 tests since July 1 to 148.

The Tokyo area is under a fourth coronavirus state of emergency for the duration of the Olympics
