Will Claye and Queen Harrison Claye
Triple jumper Will Claye pulled out all the stops for his proposal to hurdler and sprinter Queen Harrison. After winning silver at the 2016 Rio Olympics, he made the moment even more special by getting down on one knee and proposing to his girlfriend, who was watching from the stands.
Queen Harrison recalls the moment perfectly: “At first, I thought he dropped something. And he did — he dropped my jaw to the floor!” This memorable proposal was just the beginning for Queen and her partner. In 2018, they joined the ranks of over 30 Olympic couples who have turned their athletic camaraderie into lasting love. Their relationship is a testament to how the Olympics can forge powerful personal connections alongside athletic achievements.
