The Paralympic sprinter and Olympic long jumper brought home two gold medals between them, with each playing the role of cheerleader for the other on the global stage.

In August, Tara Davis-Woodhall leapt to Olympic gold in the long jump, with Hunter cheering her on from the stands.

The following month, the roles were reversed as Tara witnessed Hunter’s dramatic comeback victory in the 400-meter T62 race at the Paralympics.

Their mutual support and celebration of each other’s successes became a hallmark of the Paris Games, leaving a lasting impression on fans worldwide.
