2024 Paralympics gold medalist Hunter Woodhall was recently spotted at the Shriner's Children's Hospital, Salt Lake City. Woodhall was accompanied by his wife and reigning long jump champion Tara Davis-Woodhall.

This comes just a few weeks after his successful Paralympic campaign in Paris where Hunter bagged two medals for the United States. During their visit to the hospital, the couple indulged in numerous fun activities with the children.

Hunter Woodhall was one of the patients of the Shriners Children's Hospital and had spent a large period of his childhood in the same medical institution after he lost his leg at just 11 months old.

In a recent video of the couple's visit shared by the Shriners Children's Hospital's official Instagram handle, Hunter Woodhall could be seen racing around with the differently abled children and then indulging in hilarious 'trash talk' with another young fan. The couple also clicked numerous pictures with the little children and signed their prosthetic legs and wheelchairs.

Following the couple's visit to the hospital, the institution penned down a note on their Instagram handle, thanking them for paying a visit and spending time with the children.

The caption also touched upon the amazing journey that Woodhall has navigated; from being a patient in the Shriners Children's Hospital to becoming a Paralympic gold medalist for the United States.

"It was amazing to watch our kids connect with someone who was once in their shoes and has since achieved incredible success, including winning gold at the recent Paralympic Games. Thank you, Hunter and Tara, for creating core memories for our patients," the note read.

Following his gold medal-winning performance in the Men's 400m T62 event, Hunter Woodhall dedicated his performance to his late uncle, Wyatt Woodhall. The Paralympic track and field athlete's uncle was a coach himself and passed away three years ago in 2021 after suffering from cancer.

After his victory in Paris, the 25-year-old Paralympic sprinter took out a message and displayed it in front of the camera.

"Wyatt Woodhall: This one is for you," the message read.

Wyatt Hoodhall was very close to the Georgia-born Paralympic athlete and had also helped him during his amputation process.
