'She's insane, she's crazy' - Masai Russell shows love for Tara Davis-Woodhall

Olympic 100m hurdles champion Masai Russell recently sent words of appreciation to her fellow Olympic gold medalist and friend Tara Davis-Woodhall.

Both athletes concluded their campaigns with dominant victories adding to their already impressive legacies in track and field.

Russell, who clinched gold in the 100m hurdles with a remarkable time of 12.33 seconds, defeating top contenders Cyrena Samba-Mayela and Jasmine Camacho-Quinn, shared her thoughts on who she enjoys following most on social media.

During an interview posted on Instagram, the 24-year-old athlete gave a heartfelt shout-out to Davis-Woodhall praising her for the engaging and exciting content she regularly posts online.

"I’m just gonna say, my friend, Tara Davis-Woodhall. Her content is exhilarating, it’s exciting. She’s insane, she’s crazy, she’s interactive, she’s just herself. So, definitely my close friend Tara," Russell said, making it clear that Davis-Woodhall's vibrant personality and unique content have captured her attention.

Tara Davis-Woodhall, who competed in the long jump event at the Paris Olympics, also made history by securing her first Olympic gold medal.

She leaped to a height of 7.10 meters, outjumping the reigning champion, Germany’s Malaika Mihambo, and American teammate Jasmine Moore, who registered jumps of 6.98 meters and 6.96 meters, respectively.

Davis-Woodhall's triumph came after months of self-affirmation and manifestation, which she later revealed on her Instagram page.

In a candid post, Davis-Woodhall shared her journey of mental preparation leading up to her Olympic victory, expressing gratitude and pride in her accomplishment.

"8/08 that’s the day I win the Olympics," she wrote.

"A saying I’ve been saying for MONTHS ever since I found the schedule. Any time the clock says 8:08 I say out loud that that is the day I win the Olympics. My journal is filled with affirmations and truths about myself. Filled with goals and dreams."

Aside from their Olympic victories, both athletes are enjoying some much-deserved time off.

Davis-Woodhall is currently celebrating her achievements with her husband, Hunter Woodhall, who also struck gold at the Paris Paralympics, winning the men’s 400m T62 race with a time of 46.36 seconds.

Meanwhile Russell competed in Alexis Ohanian's Athlos NYC event, where she added a bronze medal to her collection in the 100m hurdles.
