Olivia Smart, a 28-year-old ice dancer from Spain, faced disappointment at the Winter Olympics in Milan, finishing in 9th place, down from an earlier 8th. However, her spirits were lifted when she received a marriage proposal from Jang Luc Baker, a retired American ice dancer, in the streets of Milan on Valentine's Day. In an emotional moment, Baker knelt and presented a ring, declaring "it's always been you," to which Smart happily replied "yes." This romantic development was shared widely on social media, illustrating not only personal joy for the couple but also sparking congratulations from fellow American figure skaters. Baker, who won a bronze medal at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics but did not compete in this year's games due to injuries, showed his support for Smart from the audience. The couple's engagement comes on a day that is particularly meaningful to them since it was on Valentine's Day four years prior that Baker first confessed his feelings to Smart, although they could not be together at that time due to her being in a relationship. Valentine's Day proved to be a significant occasion for love at the Winter Olympics, as another proposal was made by American skier Bridger Johnson, who proposed to his partner Connor Watkins after a race. This year's Games have become a backdrop for blossoming romantic relationships amidst the competitive spirit of the event.
