Olympian Proposes on Medal Stand

A little motivation never hurt anyone. Matt Grevers, who won two gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, had plenty of it on Saturday at the Missouri Grand Prix swimming event, one of the lead-ups to the 2012 London Games. Grevers, 26, proposed to longtime girlfriend (and fellow Olympic hopeful) Annie Chandler after winning the 100-meter backstroke. And would a proposal on anything other than the top spot on the podium suffice? Probably not. After winning gold, Grevers brought out a diamond for Chandler. “When he fell to his knee and I saw the shiny black box, I knew,” Chandler said. “That's when I went weak in the knees and kind of fell down myself.”
