The Pole vaulter who was too hot for her fans
There is no denying that this girl is absolutely stunning, but because of this her life has been chaos. The above picture was taken of Allison Stokke at a pole vaulting competition at her high-school (Yes she was only a high-schooler here). The picture became an internet sensation though.

Allison soon went to her coach to try to get a number for a media consultant. She got constant phone calls, internet messages, etc from complete strangers that were interested in her. Eventually it became too much for her family to bare. Her father had to screen every call, and even smuggle her into the house sometimes. Videos of her pole jumping have received hundreds of thousands of hits on Youtube, and it really affected her career- however she has stayed strong, and perhaps we will see her in the olympics some day.
