Olympic champion Tara Davis-Woodhall recently revealed that winning a gold medal at the Olympics was of great significance to her. Before competing at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Davis-Woodhall was regarded as one of the top prospects in the nation. She set multiple records in her early years and won numerous medals, and most notably set a national high school record in the 100m hurdles with a time of 12.83 seconds at the CIF California State Meet in 2017.

After competing at the Olympics, where she won a gold medal in the Long Jump event, Davis-Woodhall opened up about how much the win meant to her in an interview with Olympics.com, where she said:

“Winning gold at the Olympics, the pinnacle of sport…means everything. Because I share everything on my social media, and everyone knows what I've gone through. So you can do anything that you put your mind to, and that's all that matters. And, for all the women and girls out there, even the boys, we can do it! You can do it! You matter and everything, everything, exists for you. And your mind is so much stronger than you ever think.”

Tara Davis-Woodhall will be present at the Athlos meet this year, alongside many notable athletes such as Gabby Thomas, Brittany Brown, and more.
