The Woodhalls
Last summer, the Woodhalls made history in Paris by becoming the first husband and wife to both win gold at the Olympics and Paralympics in the same Summer Games.
As a member of Team USA’s Olympic track and field team, Tara Davis-Woodhall won the gold for her mark of 7.10 meters in the women’s long jump event.
A few weeks later during the Paralympics, Hunter Woodhall, who was born with fibular hemimelia and is a double amputee, won the men’s 400-meter T62 final to earn his gold medal.
Images of their celebratory hugs went viral on social media, endearing them to fans around the world.
