Hunter Woodhall is sharing a message about resilience after he was unable to win a medal in his first event at the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games.
The Team USA sprinter, 25, who is married to Olympic gold medalist track and field star Tara Davis-Woodhall, 25, said he was “proud” of himself for coming in sixth place in the men’s 100-meter T64 final event on Sept. 2.
“Progress. I’m proud of the way I competed. I told myself I wanted to use the 100m as an opportunity to improve. In Tokyo I took dead last, and it wasn’t particularly close,” Woodhall wrote alongside images from the event that he posted on Instagram.
“Even though I didn’t get the result I wanted, looking back I’m proud of the progress,” he continued, noting that he beat his own personal record and finished the race as “the second fastest double amputee over 100m.”
The athlete, who was born with fibular hemimelia and is a double amputee, continued, “I may not have won but I fought hard, and competed in an event I’m still not fully comfortable in.”
“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,” he concluded.
Woodhall has another chance at a medal when he competes in the the 400-meter T62 later this week.
The athlete’s fans popped into the comments of his post to cheer him on.
“Young man, this is not failure in any way! Your strength, courage and determination has been on full display and we who are witnesses are proud of you!!!” wrote one.
“You’re Winning on ALL FRONTS!!! You’re inspiring so many and that’s the true win!!!” added another.
Woodhall and Davis-Woodhall have melted sports fans’ hearts with their sweet love story, which began shortly after they met in Idaho at a track meet in 2017.
Woodhall, who was living in Utah at the time, and Davis-Woodhall who lived in California, embarked on a long-distance relationship before marrying in October 2022.
The two have been each other’s biggest champions with their combined focus and determination earning them spots in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, where Woodhall won a bronze medal in the Men’s 400-meter T62.
Both appeared at the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics in Paris, where fans continued to be charmed by the encouragement they show one another.
After winning a gold in the women’s long jump event on Aug. 8, Davis-Woodhall ran to her husband in the stands and jumped into his arms in celebration.
Woodhall later told NBC News that witnessing his wife’s success at this year’s Games inspired him to do his best as well.
“Watching Tara in Paris was a really great visualization,” he said. “So I’m prepared.”
