Married Olympians Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall Have Much More in Common Than Just Gold Medals
In today’s world, sports extend beyond the action on courts, fields, or tracks. A significant amount of the excitement surrounding athletes occurs before their competitions—specifically when they arrive at their venues and display their latest fashion statements. In basketball, this is known as a tunnel 'fit; in Formula One, it’s a paddock 'fit, and similar terms exist across different sports. What athletes choose to wear off the field is important, particularly to fans who may never have the chance to interact with their idols. Clothing serves as a powerful means of expression—offering insight into the identity and values of beloved athletes. This essence is at the core of what Go Sports represents. While we do follow box scores, Free Practice 1 results (even at 3 a.m.), and intense rivalries reminiscent of RHOBH, we also acknowledge the significance of sports fashion today, and we're proud to admit it.
If you're curious about what success looks like, Tara Davis-Woodhall is a perfect example. When she enters a room, there's a palpable energy—her posture is confident, head held high, a reminder of the Olympic gold medal she earned just two summers prior. Her eyes light up when she discusses her sport, and she becomes animated when talking about her supportive husband, fellow athlete, and Paralympic gold medalist Hunter Woodhall. Whether she’s glowing from her extensive skincare routine or radiating sweat from a rigorous training session, her presence is captivating.
Sitting in a sunlit New York City penthouse, Davis-Woodhall engages with Who What Wear about her latest life achievements, including marriage and Olympic training—the Unstoppable Together skincare campaign with Clinique, where she shares the spotlight with her high school sweetheart now husband. The couple first met at a high school track-and-field event in Idaho, and Davis-Woodhall made the first move by saying, "I don’t know why I have to do this, but I have to give you a hug," as she recalled in a 2024 interview with Town & Country. Woodhall, meanwhile, noted in a 2019 YouTube video that he already had feelings for her before they even spoke, thinking, “I’m going to marry that girl,” after watching her compete earlier that day.
The two made headlines at the 2024 Paris Olympics, with Davis-Woodhall winning gold for Team USA in the women’s long jump and Woodhall achieving gold in the men’s 400-meter race at the Paralympic Games just weeks later. Their celebration videos, particularly the one where Tara jumped into Hunter’s arms in the stands, garnered millions of views across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, making them fan favorites. Now, they continue to create entertaining content, join viral trends, and dance to popular songs while managing their training schedules.
As they prepare for the upcoming L.A. 2028 Olympics and explore new opportunities, including the Clinique skincare campaign, they do so together. “Sport is incredibly rewarding, yet it poses its challenges,” Davis-Woodhall reflects on her success. “Although I’ve matured, my love for my sport remains unchanged; my journey has simply evolved.”
She describes herself as “very organized,” which seems necessary as she balances her rigorous training routine aimed at defending her gold medal in two years with multiple new ventures. Self-care, especially regarding skincare, therapy, and relationships with loved ones, is vital for her. “I sweat a lot as an athlete, so it's essential for me to maintain pristine skin,” she laughs.
Despite having different priorities when it comes to skincare and dental care in the Woodhall household, Tara explains that their bond is harmonious—both in their professional and personal lives. “During my competitions, he's typically running errands for me… making sure I'm well taken care of,” she shares with a smile. This campaign has special significance for Tara, not just because it features her husband but also due to Clinique's place in her childhood. “I grew up sneaking my mom's Clinique moisturizer,” she says playfully. These moments resonate deeply, particularly with the 2028 L.A. Olympics approaching—an event that holds personal significance for the athlete raised in Agoura Hills, California.
Davis-Woodhall is “absolutely thrilled” about the next summer Olympics being held in her hometown, especially after witnessing the impressive support from Team USA fans in Paris. “I can’t wait for everyone in the crowd to join in as fans—it’s going to be a blast!” she exclaims. Her family and friends are already discussing their plans for the event. “They’re already talking about where to stay and what to do,” she chuckles. “I’m like, ‘Guys, it’s still two years away. Let me get there first.’”
These Games mean a lot to her, being the first Olympics on U.S. soil since the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, and they
