The World Tour of Gymnastics Superstars brought more than just athletic entertainment to the crowd at Assembly Hall on Wednesday night.

Former Illini and Olympic gymnast Justin Spring proposed to his girlfriend, Tori Tanney, onstage after the event's intermission. After speaking to the crowd about his return to Champaign, Spring announced he had one more order of business to take care of.

Spring then proposed to Tanney, who agreed to marry him.
