It all started in March in Glasgow when Tara Davis-Woodhall won the 2024 World Indoor Championships. The 25-year-old showcased just how much she had improved since Tokyo 2020, after jumping 7.07m for the first time in her career. However, Davis-Woodhall showed the world that she’d unlocked a new level after clinching Olympic gold with a 7.10m jump inside Stade de France.

Now, Team USA’s track and field star has completed a historic hattrick at the Golden Gala Pietro Mennea in Rome. For the third time in six months, the Olympic champion has broken the 7-meter barrier to win a historic third gold. After going three for three, the American has also decided to close the curtains on her 2024 competitive career with a 100% win rate.

“Last one best one..” Tara Davis-Woodhall wrote on Instagram ahead of Rome, and she wasn’t kidding! The athlete’s husband and Paralympic bronze medalist Hunter Woodhall celebrated his wife’s success. While this time the long jump champion and her husband didn’t go viral, Hunter Woodhall defined why his wife’s achievement was a historic one.

“First time in history someone has jumped 7m+ in EVERY competition. Undefeated season and Olympic Champion. Unbelievably well-deserved. I’m so proud,” the Paralympian posted on Threads. However, the Paralympic medalist is also proud because he saw the 25-year-old track-and-filed star battle adversity and injuries and still win Olympic gold.

Despite her success at the Indoor World Championships, the long-jump champion needed a three-week break before the Olympic trials. “It was the worst pain,” revealed Tara Davis-Woodhall, as she felt. However, the Agoura Hills native, who overcame depression and several injuries throughout her collegiate career, showed her resilience, acing the Olympic trials.

With a Diamond League gold under her belt, the long jump specialist who finished sixth at Tokyo 2020 is ready to take the rest of the season off. Now, Davis-Woodhall will once again travel to the City of Light. However, this time, she’ll cheer from the stands.

Tara Davis-Woodhall’s historic achievement has inspired her Paralympian husband Hunter Woodhall

“Now get your butt to Paris. We got some unfinished business @_taarra_” Hunter Woodhall wrote on Threads after congratulating his wife. Woodhall was his wife’s biggest cheerleader in Paris. The Paralympian was equally overwhelmed when Tara Davis-Woodhall ran into his arm movements after winning her Olympic gold. His wife’s success inspired the sprinter to do the same at the Paralympics.

“I’m feeling really good, mentally and physically. Watching Tara in Paris was a really great visualization. So I’m prepared,” Hunter Woodhall told NBC News. Following the footsteps of Tara Davis-Woodhall, the 100-meter (T64) and 400-meter (T62) impressed during the Olympic trials, smashing a national record. “Come and expect to see what the human body is capable of,” the Paralympic athlete told fans on August 27.

Tara Davis-Woodhall started 2024 as an Olympian who didn’t reach the top five in Tokyo, falling short of the 7-meter mark. Yet, few would’ve guessed what she had in store for track and field fans. As she closes the door on the best competitive season of her career, Davis-Woodhall has one goal. “I was raised in L.A. from 11 to 20. I want that, I want it,” the Olympic champion said about the 2028 LA Olympics. What are your thoughts on her epic season? Share in the comments below!
