Three photographs from the engagement accompanied the post.

The first image depicts the pair kissing while Pereira holds a bouquet bearing a heart between their names.

In the second image, she shows off her engagement ring and flowers while Tan holds her hand.

Singapore’s Sprint Queen has been training in Europe ahead of Paris Olympics

This heartwarming moment came while Pereira — who won Sportswoman of the Year at the Singapore Sports Awards earlier this month — was training in Europe ahead of the Paris Olympics in July.

She has been in Sweden since late May, following a six-week recovery period in Singapore after sustaining a leg injury back in April.

The injury meant that she had to pull out of several competitions, such as the 84th Singapore Open Track & Field Championships and the Diamond League competition in Xiamen and Shanghai.
