So they really lived it up at the trials. After earning his way back to the games, Woodhall called up Davis and, he recalled to CBS News, “We celebrated, and I was like, ‘Alright, we got one, one out of two is done.'” Then he caught a flight from Minneapolis to Eugene, Ore.
“Just seeing Tara in her element, just absolutely killing it in every way, was super special,” he said of being on hand to watch her compete. “And then being able to really share that moment together, where Tara made the Olympic team, we already know I’m on the Paralympic team, and it was just like, everything we’ve been through for the last four years has led up to this moment right now. And it was just super emotional.”
For Davis, getting wrapped up in another trackside embrace, one that was both very similar and lightyears away from that first 2017 hug, “was just very, very special.”
