A few weeks later, it was Mr. Woodhall’s turn to shine on the purple track of the Stade de France. Frustrated in the 100m where he failed to reach the podium (6th place), Hunter Woodhall left the competition in awe this Friday as he claimed the Paralympic title in the 400m T62, his first gold medal. A moment obviously shared with his wife, who was present in the stands for the occasion.
The couple shines on social media
At 25 years old, Hunter Woodhall has just won the biggest title of his career. Born with fibular hemimelia, a congenital limb condition characterized by the partial or total absence of fibulas and amputated from both legs, he had until now settled for silver and bronze in Rio in 2016 and another bronze medal in Tokyo three years ago.
Very close-knit, the couple does not hesitate to share their adventures on social media, particularly their YouTube channel, which has over 870,000 subscribers.
