14 Olympic Couples Who Are Competing Together In Tokyo
The couples people dare not mess around with!
People in the same field naturally have similar interests. That’s why it’s common to see professional sportsmen and sportswomen find their other halves doing sports, too! These people were the same, and you probably never realized that they had been dating someone who might become their opponent in the next match.
It’s just irresistibly cute to see how they can be so serious on their training, then just lose focus when their eyes fall on their other half. Another beautiful thing about them is how they are such a powerful representation for the LGTBQ+ community! We want what they have!
