"We're in" - Tara Davis-Woodhall cheers for husband Hunter as he qualifies for the 100m finals at the Paris Paralympics

Hunter Woodhall has qualified for the 2024 Paralympics 100m final, and no one is as excited as his wife, Tara Davis-Woodhall. The long-jumper won herself her maiden Olympic gold a few weeks ago at the Paris Olympics, and is now rooting for her husband to do the same.

For Davis-Woodhall, the 2024 Games were a chance at redemption after a disappointing performance at the Tokyo Olympics where she missed out on a medal by a fair margin. In Paris, the 25-year-old was absolutely flawless, jumping 7.10m, to leave the rest of the field far behind her.

Now, the long-jumper is cheering on her husband as he looks to claim his first gold and fourth overall medal at the Paralympics. Just ahead of the first round, Davis-Woodhall had shared a note of encouragement for the sprinter, writing,

“Prelims tonight. You've been grinding all season for this moment. Your journey begins tonight, let's do this. Redemption time baby.”

In the 100m T64 prelims, Hunter Woodhall put up an impressive performance, clocking an 11.02s to finish third behind Italy's Maxcel Amo Manuand and Germany’s Johannes Floorsn, in turn qualifying for the finals.

Reacting to his performance, Tara Davis-Woodhall wrote on X,

“We're in 🥳.”

In another post, she also opened up about feeling nervous for her spouse, saying,

“Yooo my stomach was doing The Biles II while being a spectator tonight 😭.”

Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall are each other's biggest cheerleaders, and the couple are always quick to show their support for each other, on and off the track.

Before turning his attention to his campaign at the Paralympics, Woodhall had taken some time to congratulate his wife for her maiden Olympic gold medal, writing a thoughtful note on Instagram that read,

“No words to describe how proud of you I am. No luck involved, you earned this. Discipline, work ethic, and grit. These are the moments and this is your moment. Soak it in.”

Now, the roles are reversed, with Tara Davis-Woodhall cheering on, as Hunter competes in a bid for his first Paralympic gold medal. The sprinter will be back on the track on Friday, 2nd September, for the men's 100m T64 finals.
