NEXT STOP, RAMONA OKLAHOMA? Valarie Allman’s ultimate destination for 4 years in a row now has been the top rung of the Rankings ladder. But if Mykolas Alekna has discovered that he could break the longstanding men’s WR in a small burg some 25M (40km) from Tulsa, why can’t Allman do the same?…
ALLMAN HAD A BRILLIANT SEASON of her own in ’24, going undefeated and adding 5 DL wins to her Olympic gold as she hit No. 1 for the fourth year in a row (and No. 1 American for the sixth)… Not shying away from tough competition, she was 4–0 against Bin Feng and 5–0 over Yaimé Pérez…
FENG TOPPED Pérez 2–1. Pérez is in the process of changing allegiance from Cuba to the U.S., hence her absence from Paris.
