A 7.13-Meter Jump Secured Tara Davis-Woodhall’s First World Title
Tara Davis-Woodhall delivered a performance for the ages at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. With a powerful 7.13-meter leap, she captured her first world title in the women’s long jump. The mark came early in the competition and held strong, securing Davis-Woodhall’s place at the very top of her sport.
From Silver in 2023 to Redemption in 2025
