"It was a question of, ‘Why?’ I felt like I had all the boxes checked. Why am I not able to get into this sport? The answer was, ‘It’s never been done.’
"For so long … it’s been fighting for the right, fighting for respect, fighting for other people to see our value and what we want to see happen in sports. Now it’s also about shedding more light on the inclusion," said Tara Davis-Woodhall's husband.
