Payton was beat out by Jamaica’s Rajindra Campbell … which destroyed Team USA’s chance at a sweep on the podium.
Payton wasn’t the only Olympian to capitalize on the Summer Games’ romantic setting. As TMZ previously reported … Chinese badminton player Huang Ya Qiong was proposed to by boyfriend and fellow Olympic teammate Liu Yuchen on live TV.
Liu’s proposal came after Huang and her double partner, Zheng Siwei, took home the gold in the mixed doubles final against South Korea.
