Gabby Thomas and Tara Davis-Woodhall are two of the biggest names in American track and field. Recently, Thomas showed her support for fellow Olympic champion Davis-Woodhall, who shared an unseen photo of her natural hair.

Davis-Woodhall, who clinched the long jump gold medal at the Paris Olympics, enjoys a large fan following on social media. The American regularly shares updates on her training and competitions with fans while also giving them glimpses of her everyday life away from the field.

Most recently, the long jumper revealed that she had partnered with Dove for their ‘code my crown’ campaign. Sharing a rare photo of her natural hair on Instagram, Tara Davis-Woodhall wrote:

“RARE PHOTO!! Many of you have never seen my natural hair... wild! Wanna know something else wild? There are no emojis that reflect my natural hair type. Or any of the hairstyles I love to wear! Let's help change that! I'm teaming up with @dove and RISE.365 for #CodeMyCrown to encourage ALL hairstyles are represented on our keyboards. Comment #CodeMyCrown under @dove's latest post #dovepartner.”

After the Texas Relays, Thomas will compete in four back-to-back Grand Slam Track meets. The first GST meet is slated to be held in Jamaica between April 4-5, followed by in Miami, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles over the next two months.

After completing the Grand Slam Track circuit, the Olympic champion will head to the USA Championships to qualify for the Tokyo World Championships.

“See you guys on the track very soon.”

For Thomas, 2024 was an incredible season, with the highlight of her year being the Paris Olympics, where she was the only track and field athlete to win three gold medals. For 2025, her focus will be the World Championships, where she will hope to claim her maiden individual title.
