• Athlete's coach and boyfriend proposes after loss
• We are very happy. We are very good partners'

Argentina's Maria Belen Perez Maurice suffered defeat in the women's saber on Monday in Tokyo, although it appears she won't be changing coaches anytime soon.

Perez Maurice had just lost to Anna Marton of Hungary in the round of 32 when her coach, who is also her boyfriend of 17 years, proposed to her. Luckily for Saucedo, seeing as the proposal was on live television, Perez Maurice said yes.
