Teenage Pole Vaulter’s Life Is Almost Ruined After Pictures Go Viral

The life of an athlete is a difficult one. Athletes spend most of their days in the gym training hard and the most difficult thing about this is that they don’t always get the appreciation that they deserve. People only see them perform and they believe that their incredible skill comes naturally, but this isn’t always the case. This is exactly what happened to a 17-years-old girl named Allison Stokke. She is a pole vaulter who has been training hard since she was a little girl and despite that, the only thing that people think about when they see her is her amazing physique. This is all thanks to a photo of her during a pole vaulting competition that went viral. This picture almost ruined her life! 20. Glamorous Sport Even though pole vaulting is fun to watch, it’s not a glamorous sport. The only time that people care about pole vaulting is when the sport is featured at the Olympics. Well, Allison Stokke helped change that.
