Meet Hunter Woodhall, husband of 2024 Paris Olympics long jump winner Tara Davis-Woodhall

Tara Davis-Woodhall had just won an Olympic gold medal in the long jump and, after an initial celebration that included sand angels in the sand pit at Stade de France in Paris, she sprinted toward the stands to leap into the arms of her husband, Hunter Woodhall.

“Oh my God, baby,” Woodhall said to his wife. “You’re the Olympic champion.” “It was such a relief and a ‘finally’ moment,” Davis-Woodhall later told NBC. “I was just looking into his eyes and I didn’t know where I was. I almost blacked out for a second and he just made the moment so much more special.”

It’s among the most memorable scenes to emerge from the 2024 Paris Olympics, and once again shined a spotlight on a heartwarming track and field relationship that has all the makings of a movie someday.

Woodhall is a double amputee runner with three medals in the past two Paralympics – and designs on earning his first gold medal at this month’s 2024 Paralympics in Paris.
