Woodhall, who is a two-time Paralympic medalist, was beaming with pride when his loved one made her Olympic debut at the Tokyo Games and placed sixth in the women's long jump.

"I cannot express how proud I am of you," he wrote. "Last year Tara Davis was not ready to compete in the Olympics. Last year Tara was fighting injuries, tough competitions (when you could actually compete), mental health, and so many other battles. To see what you did yesterday motivates me more than you know. To compete at the Olympics is one thing, to be disappointed at finishing 6th in a world filled with 7 billion people is another. It shows how driven you are and how motivated you are to be the best."
