Partner of Olympic gold medallist who went viral for wild celebrations moment at Paris games set to compete in Paralympics

Partner of Olympics gold medallist who went viral for cheering on his wife during the Games is set to compete at Paris Paralympics.

Hunter Woodhall, a double-amputee sprinter, three-time Paralympic medallist, and one of the main Team USA stars, was captured during the Summer Games passionately yelling ‘Come on baby’ from the stands.

After his wife, Tara Davis-Woodhall’s stunning performance during the Paris Olympics, it is now his turn as part of the ‘Power couple’ to strive for a gold medal.

Following her win, she leapt into her husband’s arms, with Hunter passionately screaming: ‘Baby, you’re the Olympic champion! Oh my God, you did it!’

Moreover, he was also seen wearing a ‘Team Tara’ t-shirt, and their heartwarming celebration went viral on social media, capturing the attention of many.

It comes after the couple went viral on social media for their celebration after Tara’s gold medal win in the Women’s Long Jump in Paris

The 25-year-old athlete is a double amputee who was born with fibular hemimelia and had both of his legs amputated below the knee at just 11 months old.

He kickstarted his Paralympics career at the 2016 Rio Games, where he won a silver medal in the 200 meters and a bronze in the 400 meters.

Previously, he made history by becoming the first double amputee to earn a Division I track and field scholarship for the University of Arkansas.

Woodhall is set to compete in the 100-metre preliminary race on September 1 and the 400-metre race on September 6, and seems to be highly motivated as he prepares for this important phase of his life.

Speaking to NBC News, the athlete stated: ‘I’m feeling really good, mentally and physically.

‘Watching Tara in Paris was a really great visualisation. So I’m prepared,’ he added.

Tara won the gold medal in the Women’s Long Jump in Paris and immediately ran to her husband in the stands upon learning that she was the victor.

The Summer Games triumph marked her first Olympic medal after finishing sixth in the Long Jump at the 2021 Tokyo Games.

They first met when Tara approached Hunter and gave him a hug during the Simplot Games in Idaho.

They began messaging each other frequently on Instagram and officially became a couple in July 2017.

Hunter acknowledges that his successes would not have been possible without Tara, stating: ‘There’s zero chance that we would be doing what we’re doing if we didn’t have each other.’

In addition to their achievements on the track, the 25-year-old athlete and his partner actively promote the inclusion and visibility of disabled athletes in sports.
