11 Pairs Of Olympians In Love Who Are The Very Definition Of A "Power Couple"

It makes sense when people with similar careers are romantically involved — they fully understand the lifestyle and know how to best be there for one another (or so I hope). The same goes for two athletes who are not only dating, engaged, or married to each other but also competing in this year's Paris Olympics. I would love to be a fly on the wall during dinner time with two Olympians in love.

Here are 11 current Olympian couples who will compete in their respective sports at the 2024 Paris Olympics:

1. Hunter Woodhall and Tara Davis-Woodhall first met in 2017 at a high school track meet. Fate brought them back together years later as they got engaged after the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics and married two years later, in October 2022.

2. Track and field athletes Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield have been dating for about two years. World Championship, Noah is repping Team USA, while World and Olympic medallist Junelle is competing for Jamaica.

The couple has known each other since 2017 but only reportedly started dating about two years ago. Rumor is that Junelle slid into Noah's DMs.

3. Olympic gold medalist fencer Lee Kiefer met Olympic medalist Gerek Meinhardt in 2012 and went on to get married in 2019.

4. After eight years of dating, Olympic medalist racer Alise Willoughby and racer Sam Willoughby got engaged in 2015.

5. Judo stars Gabriella Willems , a five-time IJF Grand Slam medallist, and two-time World medallist Christian Parlati are a couple who will compete at this year's Olympics on the same day.

This will be Christian's second Olympic games and Gabriella's first (she got injured before the Tokyo Olympics). "We've supported each other for seven years, and sharing this moment is a dream come true," Gabriella told Olympics.

6. Tennis players and couple Katie Boulter and Alex De Minaur will make their Olympic debuts in Paris this year.

7. Lea Schüller is competing for the first time at the Paris Olympics with the German women's soccer team, while her partner , Lara Vadlau will also be competing this year.

Lara is a two-time Olympic sailor.

8. Ukrainian tennis player and Olympic gold medalist Elina Svitolina and her husband, French tennis player Gael Monfils, will both be competing in Paris.

9. Dutch equestrian athletes Edward Gal and Hans Peter Minderhoud have been dating for over ten years.

Edward is an Olympic bronze medalist, and Hans is an Olympic silver medalist. This is the couples' third Olympic Games.

10. Slovak racewalkers national championship winners Dominik Černý and Hana Burzalova got engaged last summer after the World Athletics Championship.

11. And finally, Italian fencing athlete and Olympic silver and bronze medalist Rossella Fiamingo is dating Olympic gold medal swimmer Gregorio Paltrinieri. The two will both be competing in Paris.

Good luck to all the athletes competing!
