[Photos] Meet the Olympic couples competing at Paris 2024

Hunter Woodhall and Tara Davis-Woodhall (USA)

Hunter Woodhall was born without fibulae, a condition called fibular hemimelia, and was 11 months old when he underwent a double amputation—but the physical challenge did not slow him down.

The Georgia native met Tara Davis-Woodhall at a high school track meet in Idaho 2017. And, as he recalled in a YouTube video, "I was like, I'm gonna marry that girl.'"

They weren't together from that moment on, Tara being from California, but chemistry and following each other's rising careers on social media did the trick. The pair got engaged after the pandemic-delayed Tokyo Games in 2021 and wed in October 2022 at a Texas vineyard. But while they both competed in Tokyo, they couldn't cheer each other on in person due to COVID-19 restrictions. So you can imagine how excited they are for Paris.

"This is what we've been working on. And this is what we've been waiting for," Tara told E! News in May. "And it's going to be a special moment for sure."

Lee Kiefer and Gerek Meinhardt

We're not sure if arguments are settled with swords at home, but Lee Kiefer and Gerek Meinhardt have had each other's back for more than a decade.

"When his wife qualified for Paris, Gerek wrote on Instagram, "Words can't describe how bad she wanted this, how hard she worked, or how proud of her I am," while Lee wrote when he punched his ticket, "So proud!! My man fenced beautifully."

Alise Willoughby and Sam Willoughby (USA, Australia)

Adelaide native Sam Willoughby, 32, was Alise Post's fan from afar before he managed to meet her through MySpace. "Eventually," he quipped to USA Today Sports in 2020, "I busted my way into her top friends list."

Alise invited Sam to visit her in California and the rising BMX racing stars realized they wanted to ride tandem forever. He popped the question in December 2015 after eight years together.

Joe Kovacs and Ashley Kovacs (USA)

Ashley Kovacs, a four-time All-American in shot put at University of Kentucky, has coached her husband Joe Kovacs since 2019 and in February was named 2024 Paris Olympics Women's Throw Coach.

Married since Nov. 18, 2023, the Kovacs have produced far more than a pile of shiny hardware: They welcomed twins Kannon and Kaari in October 2022.

Katie Boulter and Alex De Minaur (Great Britain, Australia)

After qualifying for Tokyo in 2021, tennis player Alex De Minaur had to drop out after testing positive for COVID, so he and Katie Boulter—who played mixed doubles at Wimbledon together in 2023—will both be making their Olympic debuts in Paris.

Alex joked during a post-match interview in January after he was shown a sweet comment Katie left on his Instagram, "I’m actually surprised she said something nice about me. Normally every time she goes on social media to reply to my posts or whatever, it's always having a dig at me. So it's nice every now and again to get a compliment."
