Following his win, Woodhall celebrated with his wife, Tara, who had recently won Olympic gold in the long jump. In a heartwarming moment, they embraced at the finish line. “It’s a dream come true,” Woodhall told Sports Illustrated, “especially with Tara by my side.”

Woodhall’s journey to gold wasn’t without challenges. A year prior, at the 2023 World Para Athletics Championships, a prosthetic malfunction forced him to withdraw from the race. Despite this setback, his determination grew. “Tara got me back on my feet, literally,” he shared.

The couple’s success has captured the nation’s attention, with both athletes achieving gold this year. Their shared victories and unwavering support for each other have made them a beloved power couple in the track and field world.
