#Rio2016 - Lesbian Olympics volunteer publicly proposes to girlfriend inside stadium (Photos)

In a shocking display of love and affection, a woman has left people inside a stadium in Rio Brazil baffled as she took the microphone to propose to her girlfriend.

As the crowds dispersed after Australia won the first women's rugby sevens gold in Games history, Marjorie Enya, 28, a lesbian volunteer manager at the stadium entered the pitch and asked Brazil player Isadora Cerullo to marry her.

After Isadora accepted, Enya’s fellow local volunteers clapped, cheered and waved love heart balloons as the couple embraced and kissed.

Speaking to BBC Sport Enya said she had not been nervous about popping the question so publicly to her partner of two years, insisting: "She is the love of my life."

"The Olympic Games can look like closure but, for me, it's starting a new life with someone," added Enya. "I wanted to show people that love wins."

The couple live in Sao Paulo, where Cerullo, who has dual US citizenship, moved to focus on making Brazil's squad for the Games.
