Valarie Allman Is Finally A World Champion | LIVE From ASICS House In Tokyo!

Valarie Allman has known the joy of Olympic gold. Twice. She’s stood atop the podium in Tokyo and Paris. She’s held world leads and set marks that haven’t been seen since the 1980s. But until now, one medal had eluded her.

In Tokyo once again, which was the site of her first Olympic triumph, Allman finally became a world champion. With a 69.48-meter toss, she claimed her first global title, winning by the largest margin in 18 years. It was a performance that broke open the event, stamped her dominance with a 29-meet win streak, and made her the first American woman ever to pair Olympic and World outdoor gold in a throwing event.

After world bronze in 2022 and silver in 2023, this was about closure — about finishing the climb and silencing any doubts. In this conversation LIVE from the ASICS House in Tokyo, she calls it a dream come true.

The moment itself was pure Valarie: lying down in the ring after the competition, arms and legs carving a victory angel into the infield grass. A mixture of joy, relief, and the playfulness that has made her one of the most beloved figures in U.S. track and field.

Now, with two Olympic titles, a world crown, and the year’s farthest throw on her résumé, Allman has fully written her name into history — not just as the face of U.S. throwing, but as one of the greatest to ever pick up the discus.
