“Watch the Tear-Jerking Moment Tara Davis-Woodhall Soars to Victory—And the Heartfelt Embrace That Stole the Spotlight!”
Hunter, a three-time medal winner at the Summer Paralympics Games, lost his legs when he was 11-months of age due to a congenital birth defect. Far from being disabled, he competes using advanced carbon fiber blades in the 100, 200, and 400 meters categories of track and field, excelling in the sport since his international debut in 2015.
“I really credit my parents and brothers for never letting me use it as an excuse and pushing me to do everyday things like ride a bike. My mom would always say, ‘It’s not that you can’t do something; you just have to find a different way to do it,’” he said in an interview with Travel and Leisure.

The couple met at a 2017 track and field meeting in Idaho and made their relationship official by the end of their senior year of high school.
Despite Woodhall competing in Arkansas and Davis in Georgia, they were able to maintain a solid long-distance relationship.
The pair competed at the same venue for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, with Woodhall taking home the bronze in 400m Paralympics’ track and field, and Davis finishing in sixth place for long jump.

Later that year, they celebrated their engagement in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Boyfriend and girlfriend became husband and wife on October 16, 2022, in Texas and have remained happily married ever since.
“We bring a lot of diversity into our relationship, and we want to be really transparent about that. Tara is a woman of color. I have a disability. We want people to know that whoever you are, whatever situation you’re in, it’s okay and that’s what makes you special and unique,” the pair wrote in an interview with Archewell.
