Track and field power couple Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall are celebrating an Olympic triumph together. Davis-Woodhall claimed gold in the women’s long jump at the Paris Olympics on Thursday, a stunning comeback after finishing sixth at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
Photos capturing the couple’s joyful celebration quickly went viral, showing Davis-Woodhall embracing Woodhall, who will compete in the Paralympic Games later this month.
Team USA shared the heartwarming moment on Instagram, captioning a photo of the couple with, ‘THESE ARE THE MOMENTS,’ as they celebrated at the Stade de France.
On Friday, Hunter Woodhall honored his wife with a heartfelt Instagram post, sharing a photo of the couple in front of the Eiffel Tower. He wrote, ‘Words can’t capture how proud I am of you. This wasn’t about luck—you earned every bit of it through discipline, hard work, and sheer determination. This is your moment, soak it all in love.
The Paris Olympics represent the couple’s second Olympic journey together, following their marriage in 2022.”
Woodhall and Davis-Woodhall’s love story fittingly began on the track during their senior year of high school. Davis, from California, and Woodhall, from Utah, first crossed paths at a 2017 track meet in Idaho.
Recalling their meeting, Davis-Woodhall shared with ‘Good Morning America,’ ‘I was warming up when I noticed Hunter and thought, “That guy is cute.” I didn’t know who he was, but after his race, I walked up, gave him a hug, and we just started talking.'”
