At just 22, Allanah Pitcher is already making her mark in one of athletics’ toughest events — the 35km Race Walk. Fresh from a top-20 finish at the World Championships in Tokyo, Allanah is balancing her sporting dreams with an equally demanding pursuit: a Biomedical Engineering degree at Sydney University.



In this episode of The Perfect 10, Allanah shares her journey — from serving as an Olympic reserve in Paris, to her ambitions for Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032. She opens up about overcoming injury setbacks, the artistry and science behind race walking, and following in the footsteps of Australian legends like Kerry Saxby-Junna, Jane Saville, and teammate Jemima Montag.



A conversation about resilience, balance, and chasing excellence on and off the track.
