Our lives changed, we're getting all these brand deals, we got new sponsorships, we are going and speaking at these all these engagements but in between our four walls, our team is the same. Our passion is the same, the love that we have for each other is the same, our priorities are still the same. Like yes that (the Olympics) took us to the next level, but we are (still) two small town kids," said Tara Davis-Woodhall.
Tara Davis-Woodhall's husband also won his first-ever Olympic gold medal in the T62 400m at the 2024 Summer Games.
