Hunter Woodhall has had an incredible journey as a para athlete, with two silver medals from the Para World Championships and five Paralympic medals to his credit. However, the journey to the top has been anything but easy for the 26-year-old.
In an interview with Travel and Leisure, Woodhall opened up about the hardships he had to face as a para-athlete. The Paralympic champion shared that he faced struggles with his prosthetic tools more than once. In his words,
"I also always have problems with prosthetic tools. I have to travel with a certain set of tools in case anything goes wrong, especially with my running prosthetics, bolts, or track spikes. I follow the rules — for instance, I only carry a wrench that’s a certain length. But they give me the hardest time and have probably taken my tools a dozen times."
Interestingly, Hunter Woodhall also mentioned that in order to make himself comfortable in airplanes, he had to remove his prosthetic legs and put them under his seat. The Paralympic champion will be aiming for a maiden gold medal at the Para World Championships 2025, which will be held later this year in New Delhi, India.
