Payton Otterdahl may not have won any medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but the U.S. shot putter nabbed an even greater prize … love.
The U.S. Olympian proposed to his girlfriend, Maddy Nilles, beneath the Eiffel Tower and went on to share the sweet news with his followers on Sunday.
PO took to Instagram over the weekend, sharing several adorable photos from the engagement … which showed the athlete getting down on one knee right next to Paris’ most iconic landmark. Maddy, for her part, looked delighted and surprised by the gesture … and said yes.
We’re sure Maddy’s “Yes” was a much needed win for Payton, who came in 4th during Saturday’s shot put event. Team USA did medal during the event … as Ryan Crouser won his 3rd straight Olympic gold medal and teammate Joe Kovacs took home the silver.
