While the 2024 track and field season may be over, Hunter Woodhall’s streak of success continues to shine. The Paris 2024 Paralympics gold medalist graced the star-studded lineup at GQ’s Men of the Year 2024 award show. But the 25-year-old wasn’t the only track and field star turning heads—Woodhall arrived with his wife, Olympic gold medalist Tara Davis-Woodhall.

100m Olympic champion Noah Lyles also represented the sport on the GQ floor. However, it was Hunter Woodhall who walked away with a special honor. “GQ’s Sexiest Man of the Year as a Supportive Partner. Translation: Trophy Husband,” the Paralympian joked on Instagram. However, the track and field star didn’t have any idea he would be in for a nasty surprise in the morning.

Among the multiple Instagram posts and stories, Hunter Woodhall uploaded a span of his banged-up picked-up truck. A large section of the tail light, bodywork, and bumper had senior scratches and some deformity. While the taillight didn’t break, the glass looked scratched beyond repair. “Dang! Valet didn’t go well last night,” wrote Hunter Woodhall in his Instagram story.

The five-time Paralympic medalist just showed the damaged right side of his pickup. However, the visible GMC logo meant that it was one of the Sierra lineup of trucks. However, the model of the truck won’t matter much as the extensive body panel, tail light, and bumper damage mean it would be an expensive affair to repair or replace.

Perhaps, the U.S. Paralympic icon was in a celebratory mood as he shared the highlights from GQ’s America rodeo-themed Men of the Year event. The athlete did not shy away from posting images with the woman who helped him earn the honor.
