Tara Davis-Woodhall absolutely stole the show at the Paris Olympics. The Californian long jumper lit up the field event, flying to a stunning 7.10 meters and leaving competitors in her dust.
Remember Malaika Mihambo, the Tokyo Olympics champ? She could only manage silver this time, hitting 6.98 meters. It was crystal clear—this was Tara’s day. No one came close!
With the Olympics now wrapped up, Tara’s getting all the adoration she deserves. One particularly heartwarming moment came to light in a vlog titled “Heartbreak in Paris” on Tara and Hunter’s YouTube channel.
Picture this: Tara runs into an American fan during the Paralympics in Paris. This fan, a nurse from New York, had just snapped a photo with Tara’s team and started chatting about how she managed to watch the long jump competition despite her hectic schedule.
She said, “So I’m a nurse in New York City, and I was watching Tara’s long jump, during like in and out, in and out of the patient room. I was like, I’m like, Tara’s on, I gotta go.”
Just when the fan was mid-sentence, Tara herself popped out from behind, completely surprising the nurse.
The fan’s jaw dropped, and what happened next was all kinds of sweet—she hugged Tara and then, in total awe, bowed down to her, blurting out, “Like Simone Biles!”
Tara’s reaction? Shocked and flattered, she replied, “No way,” before hugging her again. For Tara’s fans, it was one of those moments that just hits you in the feels.
Now, what exactly did the fan mean by the Simone Biles comparison? Well, there are two possibilities. First, she could’ve been comparing Tara’s jaw-dropping performance to Simone’s comeback in gymnastics.
Or maybe she was recreating Simone’s iconic gesture during the Paris Olympics, where she and Jordan Chiles bowed to Rebeca Andrade to honor her gold-winning performance during the floor finals. Either way, it’s clear that the love for Tara is pouring in—and not just from fans. But wait, there’s more Simone Biles hype coming Tara’s way!

After clinching her gold medal, Tara learned that the GOAT herself had been watching her compete. And her reaction? Priceless. At the post-event press conference, she and fellow American jumper Jasmine Moore, who secured bronze with a jump of 6.96 meters, found out Simone was in the bleachers. Tara’s reaction?
“Bruh! She watched. She freaking watched and Snoop Dogg. I can’t believe it. I can’t believe she even came to our track meet. Yeah, I mean greatness watching greatness. That’s it.” What a moment!
Tara’s Olympic journey has been nothing short of inspiring. After the heartbreak of finishing sixth at the Tokyo Olympics, she bounced back in the best way possible, snatching her first Olympic gold. And it wasn’t just Simone showing love in Paris; Tara herself has been a beacon of support for her husband, Hunter Woodhall.
Before and during the Paralympics, she was his biggest cheerleader as he raced to his first-ever gold medal in the 400m T62 category. Just as Simone is always in the corner for her husband, Jonathan Owens, Tara’s been right there for Hunter. So the 400m T62 Olympic champion was left gushing about her!

On September 12, Hunter shared an Instagram post that melted hearts everywhere. He uploaded a series of pictures of the two of them together during the Paralympics, showing just how close they are.
His caption read: “To my wife. I couldn’t do this alone. You built me up and kept me accountable; you believed in me and helped me grow; you taught me how to enjoy the moment. You showed me how to be a competitor. We did it.” The comments section quickly filled up with fans congratulating the couple on their gold medals and showering them with love.
And let’s be real—they totally deserve it. What’s next for these two track stars? Only time will tell. But one thing’s certain: whatever the future holds, their mutual support isn’t going anywhere.
