As the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games unfold, it’s Hunter’s turn to shine on the track. While in the meantime Tara has swapped roles from being the track star to the most ardent fan and supporter in the stands.

Their story is one of love, and mutual support, and has captivated millions, but this time the stakes are higher. Hunter Woodhall, a seasoned Paralympian with three medals already to his name, would soon be competing in the men’s 100-meter T64 finals. And as he gears up for the final dash, the spotlight has shifted from Tara’s Olympic triumph to Hunter’s pursuit of Paralympic glory.

A few weeks back Hunter Woodhall was spotted on the stands cheering Tara to victory.  Following her win, Hunter was also affected by COVID-19. But despite the setback, Hunter stormed through the 100-meter T64 heats in the 2024 Paralympics, clocking an impressive 11.02 seconds to secure his spot in the final. The atmosphere was electric, but none felt the tension more than Tara, who watched with bated breath. As Hunter’s feet hit the track, Tara’s nerves could feel the anxiety. Tara later took to social media, humorously admitting her anxious situation, “Yooo, my stomach was doing The Biles II while being a spectator tonight 😭.”

Born with fibular hemimelia, a condition that led to the amputation of both legs below the knee, Hunter was once told he might never walk. Hence, he chose to run. And this Paralympics quest is Hunter’s chance to honor the shared path he and Tara have traveled. 

Tara Davis-Woodhall has been expressing her concern for her husband as he aims for his golden victory. Tara, who herself is now an Olympic gold medalist, acknowledged the fierce rivalry that awaits him on the track. Giving a reality check to Hunter, Tara stated, “Just going out there and having fun. I mean he’s worked hard this season to get to this point. He has a target on his back and he’s going to be hunted this year.”
