What ever happened to viral sensation Allison Stokke?

It’s fairly common for sports stars to get their names in the press. However, while that’s generally because of their achievements on the field (or their questionable extra-curricular activities), it doesn’t usually have anything to do with their looks. That all changed, though, once a photo of Allison Stokke went viral back in 2007. She captured the world’s attention for all the wrong reasons and became an online sensation. Now that more than a decade has passed since that unforgettable moment, how has that one photo shaped this athlete’s life?

There was once a time when Allison Stokke was nothing more than an ambitious athlete looking to make it big. All the way back in 2007, she was still a high school senior desperate for her talent to speak for itself, but a photo soon changed everything.

While Stokke was competing, a picture was taken of her that quickly became a sensation online. Thousands of people started sharing the image, and it soon attracted the attention of news producers. Suddenly, everyone wanted to know who she was.

Born on March 22nd, 1989, Stokke was always destined to be a sports star. Her older brother, David, had shown an interest in gymnastics from a young age, and he ended up competing for the Californian youth team while growing up.

David became so skilled at what he did, he made it all the way to the national level, and it inspired Allison to try out gymnastics for herself. Although she realized it wasn’t for her, it led Stokke to discover the sport that truly spoke to her.
