Last night I received the email below from a soldier serving in Afghanistan. He was wondering who this sexy pole vaulter is. Now we've all seen these pics floating around the nets since 2004 to be exact. That's when the images of California Pole Vaulting Champion Allison Stokke started crushing the internet.
The soldier's email was one of 3 emails I got yesterday asking who this pole vaulter was. The day before I received 4 and it was 2 the day before that. Hell, the Chivers have been asking me who this girl is at least once a day since we started theCHIVE.
So I started doing some digging. It seems each day 5,000-7,000 people search the name Allison Skokke, not to mention the people who search 'Sexy Pole Vaulter' and the like. Point is, Allison holds up. She's survived the internets' nano-attention span and continues to make the internet a sexier place every day. That deserves our respect and, at the very least, a post.
So here's to your timeless hotness, Allison. We at theCHIVE solute you. Wherever you are now, I hope you know you've been making a lot of boys really happy for a long time now.























She can vault my pole any day.
Unfortunately she became fat. Look it up people, I'm not joking. The Internet stardom probably got to her.
Stokke means "sticks" in Afrikaans (South African Dutch), quite appropriate
Unfortunately, athletic types tend to hang around some of the biggest douchebags on the planet.
Hailing from a big college town, I know this aaaaall too well, and the primary reason I don't go out during the school year.
College chick may be hot, but they're also pretty dumb/uninteresting and they all seem to read Twilight…
and yes- I know that statment is redundant.
@"shes fat now" comments – No, She's still an amazingly gifted and beautiful track & field athlete who just took 2nd place at the Stanford invitational. (3/25-3/26).

[...] s to you, Allison Stokke (23 Photos – theCHIVE Mar 24, 2011 … Last night I received the email below from a soldier serving in Afghanistan. [...]
Have you seen pics of her now? she has gained like 30lbs of fat
feels bad man
She's beautiful. She's HOT. She's a sweet, intelligent girl, and an amazing athlete. I think if she smiled at me once, I'd be in love.
I hope she gave her sport the best and that publicity (especially negative) did not destroy a worthy athlete for your country to be proud of. People have said she is only about looks but they would not have seen if she would not have won at some thing—If she won or not, give her credit for trying—I’m 240 with big shoulders and could not do what Allison Stokke does.
