Woodhall shared the message on social media, praising his wife for her work ethic, perserverence, and being an inspiration.

"I’m so humbled by you. You have battled through so much just to give yourself a chance. You’ve inspired so many with your authenticity. Showing it’s okay to struggle, it’s okay to not always be okay," he wrote.

"Through everything you continued to fight for your dream. No one has worked harder. No one has been more disciplined. You inspire me every day to be great. Tomorrow is your moment. Enjoy every bit of it."

Once Davis-Woodhall won gold, Hunter shared another video showing off his wife's world-class smile.

Tara and Hunter married in 2022, and now they both have Olympic hardware to their name.
