It’s nothing but elation for Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall at the moment. Just a month after the Texas Longhorns alum hauled gold in the women’s long jump at the 2024 Paris Games, her husband matched her triumph in the Paralympics in the men’s T62 400m race. With that, they have chanced upon their biggest milestone as a couple after tying the knot in 2022. But the track power couple probably knew something like this was on its way.

The duo was in deep preparation mode ahead of the big rumble and the City of Love didn’t let them with empty hands either. It was a joint venture and they couldn’t have asked for a better ending to their individual stints on the grandest stage of them all. Their confidence in each other’s capabilities remained unwavering and the 2024 World Indoor Championships gold medalist also postponed reveling in her gold-winning performance just so she could celebrate along with her husband.

In an interview with PEOPLE on September 9, the Davis-Woodhall couple narrated how they embarked on the journey together and how ecstatic it feels to have both won the ultimate prize with the Eiffel Tower as their witness. Talking about how she felt her emotions running high seeing Hunter race, the long jumper Tara Davis-Woodhall said, “We’ve just been thinking about this moment for so long, so like, for it to be playing out in front of me, I was like, ‘oh my gosh, there’s no going back now.’ I didn’t really want to process [my win] a month ago because I wanted to do it together.”

Her husband chimed in and claimed that their accomplishments were bound to happen, especially with both of them supporting each other’s dreams at every step of the way. They had “blind faith” in the fact that their Parisian summer would be one to remember, revealed the Paralympian. With that, he also noted that they arrived at the French capital with the aim of making the most of the opportunity at hand.
