Home/Track & Field

Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall recently got trolled by track fans. This happened after she replied to Michael Johnson, as he said, “I am going to save what I think I can save; I think I can save track, but I don’t think I can save track and field. This angered Tara, who felt that the field events did not need saving. “About my sport, it doesn’t need saving at all. It’s actually… Michael, you’re ruining the sport if you’re trying to’save’ just track,” she said in an Instagram post.

This led to her getting attacked online by track fans who felt that she was being illogical. But now it seems that this has not affected her or her husband one bit. Instead, they’re enjoying their time with each other amidst Thanksgiving. On November 29th, Hunter Woodhall wrote a note in his Instagram story dedicating it to Tara Davis-Woodhall, showing his gratitude towards her as they returned from a holiday. He wrote about how grateful he was to have her in his life.

Hunter said, “Thankful for getting to live this life with you. Thankful to get home with you. Thankful for the way you love me. Thankful for you. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Safe travels home if you’re on the road.” This shows how the couple are deeply affectionate of each other. It reminds the fans about the reason they gained nationwide fame after the Paris Olympics.

Tara Davis-Woodhall won gold in the long jump after clearing the barrier in front of her. This prompted her to run straight to the stands and hug Hunter Woodhall, who was sitting right there. The gesture made them immediately viral among fans, as many were mesmerized by the cuteness of the couple.

Their intrigue would only increase when Hunter Woodhall won his gold medal in the Paralympics and reciprocated the same action made by his wife, going into the stands and hugging her. This made them quite popular after the Olympics. Their success has also seen the couple think about maintaining it for their future.

Hunter Woodhall and Tara decide to move to a new city

After the Paris Olympics, the Woodhalls made a huge decision to relocate to a new place from Arkansas to Kansas. This decision came from Tara and Hunter Woodhall because of their aim to qualify for the 2028 LA Olympics and Paralympics. Their head coach, Travis Geopert, who recently took up the job at Kansas State University, also influenced this decision.

This is because the couple wanted to live near him to train properly. Thus, the Woodhalls have decided to accompany him to Kansas. Their home in the city is already ready for occupation, and the couple is set to make the move very soon.

Furthermore, they also seem to have the ambition to add another gold medal to their tally. For this, they have already started their preparations. Thus, hopefully, this move to Kansas will turn out well for both of them.
