    Valarie Allman | 2024 

    Valarie Carolyn Allman, a 29-year-old American discus thrower, is a two-time Olympic champion, winning gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (held in 2021) and the 2024 Paris Olympics. She made history by becoming the first American woman to win Olympic gold in discus since 2008 and also earned the first-ever world championship medal in the event for the U.S. with a bronze at the 2022 World Athletics Championships.

    Allman initially aspired to be a dancer, but her older brother encouraged her to try track and field in high school. She found her true calling in discus and gained international recognition with a silver medal at the 2017 Summer Universiade. Although she missed the 2017 World Championships, she continued to improve and secured her spot on the U.S. Olympic team for the Tokyo Games, where she claimed her first Olympic gold.

    In 2022, she set a personal best of 71.46 meters, the 15th longest throw in history, at the Triton Invitational in La Jolla. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, Allman won her second gold with a throw of 69.50 meters, outperforming China's Bin Feng and showcasing her dominance with consistently superior throws.
