Gabby Thomas has penned a heartfelt message to Paralympic gold medalist Hunter Woodhall and his long jump Olympic gold medalist wife Tara Davis-Woodhall following their success in Paris this Summer.
America’s new sprint queen Gabby Thomas, who made waves at the 2024 Paris Olympics with her triple gold medal haul, took a brief pause from her busy life in medicine to share in the joy of two close friends' historic achievements.
After witnessing Hunter Woodhall’s gold medal win in the men’s 400m T62 race at the Paris Paralympics, Thomas couldn't contain her excitement for the couple, Hunter and his wife, Tara Davis-Woodhall.
Just weeks earlier, Tara Davis-Woodhall had captured hearts with her stunning gold medal performance in the women’s long jump at the Olympics.
Now, her husband, Hunter, added another gold to their shared legacy, finishing ahead of Germany’s Johannes Floors and the Netherlands’ Olivier Hendriks to claim victory in the 400m T62 final.
This win marked his fifth Paralympic medal, complementing his previous two bronze and silver medals, and the moment seemed to deepen the magic surrounding the Woodhalls' remarkable journey.
Gabby Thomas, already riding high from her own Olympic success and set to feature in the upcoming Netflix series Sprint, took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to express her heartfelt admiration for the couple’s achievements.
