For Tara Davis-Woodhall, an integral part of her support system at the Paris Olympics was her husband, Hunter Woodhall. The duo went viral for their embrace after the long jumper finalized her gold medal at the Games, and they will be back in Paris soon enough, this time with the roles reversed.

She had earlier told People Magazine that she's excited to head back to Paris to watch Woodhall compete, saying,

“We’re going to go home for 13 days, pack it up, get some more training in for Hunter, and we’re gonna be back. The party continues. It doesn’t end here.”

Hunter Woodhall is already a three-time Paralympics medalist, but is missing a gold in that collection. The 25-year-old won a silver and a bronze in the 2016 edition of the sporting event in Rio as a 17-year-old, while clinching a bronze in Tokyo 2020.
