Olympics long jump champion Tara Davis-Woodhall and her Paralympics champion husband Hunter left fans impressed with their dance skills during an amputee charity event.
“If there is a young girl out there and you are following me, don’t let someone else’s thought and opinion about you dictate your life. I feel like a lot of us are looking at other people’s lives and wishing that they could be that person, but you are your own person for a reason. Yes you can take away inspiration from people but be your own self. Don’t ever give up on yourself. Live your life to the fullest and have fun,” Davis-Woodhall told World Athletics.
The 2023 World Championships silver medalist said she loves authenticity and does things without burdening herself with pressure. The 25-year-old who set the American junior women's record in the indoor long jump in 2017, is known for her infectious smile and positive energy and talks about the importance of recognising that not every day is perfect.

Hunter Woodhall reacts as Tara Davis-Woodhall reveals the dream she gave up
Hunter Woodhall playfully reacts as wife Tara Davis-Woodhall reflects on a childhood aspiration she set aside for track success.
"I feel like when I was younger there was a lot that I couldn’t relate to about people. Just showing my authentic self, whatever that comes up as, is a movement in itself. I love showing the authenticity of the Woodhalls.
“We get wrapped up in just trying to show the best of the best, and I love showing that I’m not okay all the time."
Davis-Woodhall, who is married to Paralympian Hunter Woodhall, placed sixth in the delayed Tokyo Olympic Games. In 2021, Davis-Woodhall jumped 7.14m at the Texas Relays in Austin to set the collegiate record. The jump placed her in the top 30 of all time.
