Tara Davis-Woodhall recalled her Olympic moment after doubts about positioning
Tara Davis-Woodhall was in the Tokyo Olympic run, but she narrowly missed the podium after finishing sixth in the finals. In Paris, she topped the semi-finals and was prepared to go last, as she thought was the rule. However, she was the seventh finalist on the line-up and reached the field at 8:07 pm, clinching the win and running straight to her husband to celebrate.
Sharing the story with Cosmo Sports, the long jumper said:
"I found out I competed in the finals at 8 o’clock at night. The day of the competition, I was going seventh, and usually if you win your prelims, you compete last [in the eighth spot]. So I was like, What the heck, why am I not last? That’s how it’s supposed to be. But it was whatever. The competition starts at 8 p.m. on the dot, and each competitor has one minute to jump. I'm the seventh jumper. I was like, I really want to see “8:08” when I’m out here, but again, I was like whatever."
She added:
"Bro, at 8:07, I’m on the runway, and I was like, Hey, lock in. I take off, I jump, and that is the 7.10m [winning] jump. Fast-forward, I win the competition—woo!—and then I’m at home going through pictures, and I was like, “Freak! I didn’t get to see ‘8:08’ today, Hunter!” And that’s the day I won the Olympics!"
She added the long jump gold medal at the 2024 World Indoor Championships.
