American Olympic champion Tara Davis-Woodhall was not only recognized for her victory in the women’s long jump at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, but also drew attention from her supportive husband, Hunter Woodhall, who cried tears of joy at her win. The 25-year-old athlete went viral for his applause for his wife and cries of pride. «You're an Olympic champion!» he exclaimed in disbelief when Tara won gold for the USA with a result of 7.10 meters. The love story of this couple dates back to the past, so let us give you a brief summary:
These two Olympians met in 2017 at a track and field competition in high school, where Hunter felt an instant attraction that sparked their relationship. He recalled in a YouTube video that he knew she was the one, and they started dating later that same year. While they both pursued careers in track and field, they supported each other despite the challenges of a long-distance relationship.
Both qualified for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, marking the first time they went to the Olympics together. Tara expressed her joy on social media, writing: «Four years ago I made the best decision of my life! Woke up at 6 am, drove 2 hours to see this guy I was madly in love with. Turns out he was in love with me too… now we’re both Olympians». Hunter, who has both legs amputated due to fibular hemimelia from birth, won bronze in the 400 meters, while Tara did not medal in the long jump that year.
Now, at the 2024 Olympic Games, they once again find themselves competing and representing their country together. After her gold medal win, Hunter expressed his pride on Instagram, saying: «No words to describe how proud I am of you. Luck has nothing to do with it, you earned this. Discipline, hard work, and perseverance. These are the moments, and this is your moment. Enjoy it».
The couple got engaged in 2021 with ocean waves in the background in Cabo San Lucas. The gold medalist shared the news on her Instagram in September 2021, noting: «You have shown me the true meaning of life, and now I can spend the rest of my life with you. Allow me to introduce myself as the BRIDE». They then got married in October 2022, presenting themselves as the «Woodhalls» in a joint Instagram post
