Some stories in sports feel destined for greatness. The Woodhalls' journey is undoubtedly one of them.

Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall's love story began in 2017 when they met at a high school track meet in Idaho. Married in 2021, the couple embarked on a shared dream: chasing gold in Paris 2024 together.

On 8 August, Tara Davis-Woodhall soared to her first Olympic gold in the women’s long jump. Her celebration was as instinctive as it was memorable: she sprinted straight into the arms of her husband, Para athletics star Hunter Woodhall.

The moment was electric, with tears of joy streaming and an embrace so full of love it made headlines worldwide.

But that was only half the tale.

A few weeks later, at the Paralympic Games, the roles reversed. The world held its breath as it was Hunter’s turn to shine this time, powering through the 400-meter T62 final to claim his first Paralympic gold on 6 September.

His reaction? A perfect mirror of Tara’s, running straight into her arms.

Together, Tara and Hunter have crafted one of the most heartwarming narratives in sports, a story of love, mutual triumphs, and unshakable support. From Tara’s golden leap to Hunter’s golden sprint, they’ve shown the world what’s possible when two champions push each other to greatness.
