Love stood tall once again when Tara Davis-Woodhall jumped into the arms of her husband Hunter Woodhall after her Olympic gold medal-winning performance at the women’s long jump competition.
Hunter, a three-time medal winner at the Summer Paralympics Games, lost his legs when he was 11-months of age due to a congenital birth defect. Far from being disabled, he competes using advanced carbon fiber blades in the 100, 200, and 400 meters categories of track and field, excelling in the sport since his international debut in 2015.
“I really credit my parents and brothers for never letting me use it as an excuse and pushing me to do everyday things like ride a bike. My mom would always say, ‘It’s not that you can’t do something; you just have to find a different way to do it,’” he said in an interview with Travel and Leisure.
