Love and sports may seem like two different worlds, but for some athletes, they have found their significant others through unconventional means. Swimmer Abbey Weitzeil, water polo star Maggie Steffens, and rugby player Charlotte Caslick all met their partners in unique ways.
Weitzeil was set up on a blind date by her teammate, while Steffens and her partner Tom Gehret were introduced by mutual friends. Caslick and her partner Lewis Holland met while playing rugby together. Despite initial doubts, these couples have stayed connected even during the Olympics.
While planning a wedding and training for the Olympics both demand focus and energy, these athletes are prepared to tackle both challenges head-on. For them, the upcoming Olympic Games in Paris are the immediate focus, followed closely by their weddings. As they prepare to compete for gold medals, they are also preparing to start the next chapter of their lives with their partners by their sides.
