The Olympic Games’ official X (formerly Twitter) page pronounced Argentina’s star athletes Pablo Simonet and Pilar Campoy as the first couple to get engaged at the Olympic Village during the 2024 Summer Games in Paris.
Simonet (handball) and Campoy (field hockey) draped their arms over each other’s shoulders as they posed for a team photo, but suddenly Simonet broke away from the pack and stood in front of the group with a ring box in hand. Campoy froze in place with her hands over her face as her team mates screamed their approval.
Then Campoy joined her boyfriend and gave him the biggest hug. Simonet was still clutching the ring box and had yet to formally propose when the Argentinian squad broke out in a spontaneous celebration, jumping and dancing in a circle around the happy couple.
When festive outburst finally settled down, Simonet, 32, got down and one knee and presented Campoy, 34, with a simple gold band.
Campoy said, “Yes,” and the couple embraced.
A short video published to Simonet’s Instagram account last Wednesday captured the unforgettable moments in the City of Love.
In the caption, which is translated from Spanish, Simonet wrote, “The woman of my life gave me the yes… in the dream place, where everything came from and where we fought so much to be.”
“Happiness is total,” he continued. “Thank you friends, and few accomplices for making this special and being able to keep this forever. Paris is always a good idea.”
Campoy showed off her new ring in a number of poses that were incorporated into the video.
Simonet and Campoy are two of the older members of the Argentinian delegation. They have been together since 2015 and represented Argentina at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
After two matches in the current competition, their respective teams are on different trajectories.
Campoy’s field hockey squad currently stands at the top of Pool B with victories over the USA and South Africa. Next up is a match against Spain on Wednesday. The team took home a silver medal at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo.
Simonet’s handball team, on the other hand, sits at the bottom of Pool B after suffering losses to Norway and Hungary.
Campoy sat out the 2020 Olympics, but decided to return to the team in 2024.
“Obviously, the doors were open, but I was living my life [in Spain],” Campoy told olympics.com. “But after the call, I didn’t hesitate. I talked it over with Pablo and I told him, ‘I want to end my career in the best way possible’.”
