Giving serious proposal goals to athletes around the globe, New
Zealand’s Jake Robertson got down on one knee to propose his
girlfriend Magdalyne Masai at the finishing line. Robertson pushed all
the way in the Great North Race held in northern England, finishing just
six seconds behind the top runner. But the crowd cheered for the first
runner-up more as he asked his Kenyan girlfriend to marry him before a
large crowd.
Masai who finished fourth in the women’s elite race was asked to meet
Robertson at the finish line but little did she know what was going to
happen next. Gasping for breath, the Kiwi runner garnered the strength
to ask for her hand and left everyone, including Masai, stupefied and
overwhelmed. The romantic sight was caught on camera and as she said
yes, people in the audience can be heard cheering and applauding.
People can’t stop obsessing how beautiful and romantic the proposal

to my mind that today was the day.”
