One day Allison Stokke was a just a pretty high school athlete and the next she was an international Internet destination, although not by her own choice. Miss Stokke’s photograph was taken during a high school track meet, where she was preparing to compete in the pole vault, and someone posted it to a web site. It didn’t take long for other less reputable sites to pick up the image and set off a round of Stokke-mania on the worldwide web.
Miss Stokke isn’t just a pretty girl; she’s a pretty girl who happens to be a tremendous athlete. She participated in the Olympics last conducted in China, where, although many did not win any medal, stole the hearts of many people. That is, an athlete who leaves footprints in the sand and feelings.
