Allison Stokke

Remember Allison Stokke? Allison Stokke was born in a sports family in California. Her brother is a gymnast while she specializes in pole vault. In 2007, when Stokke was 17, her photos taken during track and field competitions were widely published online, and the major news media reported extensively about it, which made her an Internet phenomenon. These images spread via social media, attracting thousands of followers. The attention to Stokke’s appearance far exceeds the attention to her athletic ability, which turned her life upside down.

After she became famous, she tried to stay away from the crowd and continued to study at the University of California, Berkeley. She continued to participate in various track and field competitions during the university, and achieved greater success in the second year of the university-reached 4.21m. However, she did not perform well in the 2012 United States Olympic Trials and missed the Olympics. After graduation, Stokke became a sportswear model and started working with GoPro, Athleta, Uniqlo, etc.
