CNN —

US sprinter Hunter Woodhall doesn’t need to look far for inspiration at this year’s Paralympic Games.

The 25-year-old has the chance to win his first Paralympic gold medal in the 400m T62, having watched his wife Tara Davis-Woodhall become the Olympic long-jump champion just two weeks ago.

Woodhall had traveled to watch his partner compete in the French capital and was the first person to celebrate with her when she won the gold medal – the pair sharing an emotional embrace as she leapt into his arms at the front of the stadium.
