LONDON (AP):

She didn't win the gold, silver or bronze, but Britain's Holly Bleasdale is walking away from the Olympic pole vaulting competition with something pretty special: a fiancé.

The 20-year-old pole vaulter has said she was disappointed by her sixth place finish at the Olympic stadium last night.

Soon after her finish, Bleasdale tweeted that she was "devastated" and "sorry for letting people down".

But just hours later, her message on the microblogging site took a turn for the positive.

"Sixth in the Olympics and (at)bradshaaaw proposes to me :) epic day!!!" she wrote.

Her boyfriend, Paul Bradshaw, also posted about his excitement, saying he had just proposed to Bleasdale and she'd said yes. "Best day ever!" he wrote.
