Woodhead received three gold medals (in the 200 m freestyle, 4x100 m freestyle relay and 4x100 m medley relay) and two silver medals at the 1978 World Aquatics Championships in Berlin, when she was only 14 years old.

Woodhead had qualified for six events at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, and was regarded to be among the favorites in the four individual distances, as she was ranked world number one in 100 m, 200 m, 400 m and 800 m freestyle. Due to the American boycott of Moscow Olympics, she did not get the chance to participate. This was a great disappointment for her, and she has said that the boycott may have triggered her later health problems.
