The Innocent Photo That Ruined A Pole Vaulter’s Career
At 17, Allison Stokke has won every medal in her school’s Pole vaulting teams! Her posture has a quiet confidence earned through countless victories and hours of self-training. Her radiant athleticism and the way she scaled the bar attracted people to her, which seemed so natural and…

It's not just athletes, but women in general. And shockingly, it begins with child beauty contests, then continues with a fashion industry that insists on emphasizing women's physical assets. Women must be treated according to their character and integrity, above all else, and so should men!
Allison, you are beautiful, inside out. Go ahead with your persona, and ignore the rest. All standouts will have negative and unwanted attention.
Never heard of this woman. All I can say though, is that she must be good, because she makes my pole vault. 🫦
I remember when I first saw that photo I thought 'Wow, she's a beautiful athlete and seriously fit…what kind of sport does she do?'
I never heard or saw the comment when the photo went viral, and don't care to. IMO all athletic and fitness women are more attractive. I was really hoping she would qualify for the Olympics and when she didn't, I realized that her competition was probably pretty strong too! It seems modeling wasn't really her thing maybe bc they wanted to turn her into a sex symbol?
I wonder what's next for her, especially now as a full time mom. Whatever it is, now Mrs Fowler has a beautiful family and seems quite happy, I wish them the best!!
Young lady, I have to tell you. Back when I was in high school, my sophomore year, I was on the track team. I tried the javelin, almost hit the coach, shot put dropped it on my foot. That hurt for a few days, discus, well, I won't go there. Didn't end well. And I tried pole vaulting. Only took one try to convince me, that I was not one to use a pole. So, I finally did the running thing. The 440, 880, and the mile. Seems the longer the distance I ran the better I got. Almost took 3rd place in a track meet. We had a few guys on the track team, who were good at pole vaulting, the triple jump and the long jump. Now, keep in mind, this was back in 1969. I was still only 15 at the time. I am amazed at how you make those jumps seemingly without fear. You can see the determination in your face. You are one hell of a role model for young women in sports. Best of luck to you.
Smart, beautiful and a good head on her shoulders. I hope they have many happy times together and a long marriage
This world is all screwed up. The way they changed this beautiful woman's destiny disgusts many. Only God knows how and when this will stop. The enemy around us has only one agenda – destroy nice people. Us in our house wish this beautiful couple and their family well.
Our culture is disgusting and obsessed with sex. So sorry she had to endure this. Stay strong!!
I’m so very happy for you both!! You are heroes not just for your success in sports but because of your success in life!! You didn’t let them beat you and that one thing cut them off at the knees!! Unfortunately sin is pervasive in the world more now than ever before! But you overcame the obstacles it tried to defeat you with and like Job in the Bible you were sifted but not defeated!! Much love to your family!!
GREAT ROLE MODEL
So wrong that beauty and strength is viewed by some to be sexual. So happy for her Rickie and family. Lovely family.
Don't dress in such a revealing manner! Too much skin! Why do you think porn is so pervasive? Men always have and always will be attracted to beautiful young women. Sad but true!
I think the reaction this young woman received, is very typical of the daily gender discrimination women are up against every day on this planet.
I agree.
Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Sex sells! It's that simple.
You shuld be very proud of your self go girl
Maybe change the outfits for women in sports. Also, gymnastics, running etc.
Women’s sports need to reevaluate their competition clothing. It’s way too skimpy and suggestive. Why not wear leggings and full top half covering? They don’t because sex sells. So sad.
People are cruel asses what morons!
I believe use your beautiful face and body it's to bad there are pervs in this world but with out all the negatives she may have not met her husband and have this beautiful family.
It’s a shame what girls-woman have to go through in order to achieve their sport’s goal. I was a photographer for an AllStar cheerleading group ages 7 to 17 mostly girls. I had to be very careful what I posted onto their website because of all the weirdo guys and men. This was a sport that comprised with many gymnastic and girls flying into the air in skimpy uniforms, but then the stupid ignorant comments started coming on and made many of these cheerleading athletes cry😕 I am so sorry this happened to this young lady but she is now solid and can look at everything she achieved including her husband and children 👍
Absolutely…Women athletes deserve a lot of respect …
Stay positive and always strive for the best inside of you. At the end of the day you only have yourself to answer to on your dedication of your life in the sport you love. ♾️✌️💯
Such a disgusting manner in which to treat this strong, talented and beautiful young lady. Some men are such a sorry excuse!
Congratulations Allie 🎉 I'm so excited for you!! This will be a journey to tune into. Best of luck going forward 💞
A fabulous athlete and very focused young woman. Best of luck, Allison.
Fine 😊
There’s no denying her beauty but her ability and skills as a world class athlete is more important 💪🔥
You are a terrific athlete Allison PROUD of your accomplishments.
