Tara Davis-Woodhall<\/strong> isn\u2019t the only medal winner in her family. The California native won a gold medal<\/a> in the women\u2019s long jump at the 2024 Paris Olympics<\/a>, but her husband, Hunter Woodhall<\/strong>, already had a few medals of his own. With her recent victory, fans are curious to learn more about Tara\u2019s husband.<\/p>\n Hunter was born in Cartersville, Georgia, in 1999, but he grew up in Syracuse, Utah, thanks to his father\u2019s military service. He was born with a congenital birth defect known as fibular hemimelia. Those who have the condition are born with their fibulas either partially missing or completely missing. When he was 11 months old, Hunter\u2019s parents opted to have both of his legs amputated in an effort to improve his quality of life. However, Hunter never let his circumstances stop him from pursuing his dreams.<\/p>\n Hunter was fitted for prosthetic legs before he had learned to walk and he went on to break several state running records at his high school in Utah. He earned a Division-I scholarship for track and field when he enrolled at the University of Arkansas in 2017, becoming the first double amputee to ever receive that type of scholarship.<\/p>\n \u201cI always understood there was something different about me \u2014 I mean, I had to put on my legs every morning,\u201d Hunter told Travel + Leisure<\/em><\/a> in an article published on February 6, 2024. \u201cBut I have two older brothers, and I followed in their footsteps, doing things they did, including sports. Sometimes, they would make fun of me, as older brothers do, telling me I was disabled, and I would say, \u2018I\u2019m not disabled. There\u2019s nothing wrong with me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Tara and Hunter met during their senior year of high school when they both attended a track meet in Idaho. They went to separate colleges but had a long-distance relationship. The couple got to experience the magic of Tokyo together when she competed in the 2020 Olympics and he competed in the 2020 Paralympics. Hunter proposed to Tara in September 2021 and they officially tied the knot the following year in October.<\/p>\n A video of Tara and Hunter went viral when she won a gold medal during the women\u2019s long jump at the 2024 Paris Olympics. After Tara realized she\u2019d received first place, she ran to Hunter in the stands and leapt into his arms with a huge grin on her face.<\/p>\n \u201cOh my God, baby, you\u2019re the Olympic champion!\u201d Hunter shouted<\/a> in excitement.<\/p>\nWho Is Tara Davis-Woodhall\u2019s Husband, Hunter Woodhall?<\/h2>\n
