ALLISON STOKKE – MODEL

Allison Stokke became an internet phenomenon when images of her were shared while she was pole vaulting, and this became an issue as she was only 17 then. Stokke said she did not want to be associated with the sexualization of women in sports. She continued to do pole vaulting and competed on the collegiate track team. Stokke also proved herself to be competent enough in terms of academics when the athlete earned regional all-level honors. After she graduated, she soon became a model and a professional vaulter.

She became a sportswear model for brands including,Nike, Uniqlo, and Athleta. GoPro also made investments by leveraging fame and asking her to deliver a series of videos of her vaulting with a camera attachment to promote the action camera equipment. Stokke has also competed regularly at national meetings though she usually does not place highly. In 2019, she married fellow sports celebrity golfer Rickie Fowler.
