PARIS, France — Team USA sprinter Hunter Woodhall addressed his performance on social media after the men’s 100m T64 final at the Paralympics on Monday.
“Progress. I’m proud of the way I competed. I told myself I wanted to use the 100m as an opportunity to improve,” Hunter wrote on Instagram on Tuesday. “In Tokyo I took dead last, and it wasn’t particularly close. (11.28) Even though I didn’t get the result I wanted, looking back I’m proud of the progress. (10.96).”
Hunter said he finished the second-fastest double amputee over 100m in the race.
“I may not have won but I fought hard, and competed in an event I’m still not fully comfortable in,” he added in the post. “Always tough facing failure, but I’m grateful.
I’ll use this as motivation, 400m coming up. Can’t thank everyone enough for the love.”

A few weeks ago, Hunter watched his wife, Tara Davis-Woodhall, a former University of Georgia track and field athlete, compete and win gold in the women’s long jump at the Paris Olympics.
On their joint Instagram page “The Woodhalls,” Tara wrote, “Proud is an understatement,” after Hunter’s 100m final run.
Hunter still has two more chances to go for gold! See his full schedule below:
