When people become famous, they prefer to be recognized for their hard work, drive or talent. But what happens when someone gets famous for something that’s completely out of his or her control? That’s exactly what happened to Allison Stokke.
Today, she’s a famous pole vaulter and fitness model. But back in 2007, when she was just 17 years old, Allison Stokke became a viral phenomenon overnight.
