Meet Allison

Allison Stokke was born in Newport Beach, California to her parents Allan and Cindy Stokke. She was a sports enthusiast right from an early age. And no doubt that was quite inevitable in her case considering her elder brother David was too, a national youth level gymnast. From an early age her brother was her idol and she was determined to follow his footsteps. From an early age, she too started taking part in gymnastics under her brother’s guidance. Her brother used to take her to the practice after her school hours. She was always a fast learner and whatever she did she always excelled in it. And the same happened when she started taking lessons, despite being outstanding she always felt that her heart wasn’t in the same place with her mind. She needed to find her true passion.

Popularity

With each record and championship, her popularity was increasing exponentially. But Allison did not let it get heavy on herself or on her performance. Though she had won and participated in numerous now, she used to be excited about every championship and never took it for granted. Her popularity was skyrocketing with every other championship. There wasn’t even one event when where she wasn’t photographed. She was vivacious and energetic and every photographer wanted to catch that spirit in their cameras. Even she didn’t shy away from being clicked starting from the initial days of her career and was now used to the fame and glory she was getting. But not every photograph turns out to be a good one, does it?

The Photograph

Back in 2007, when she was just a teenager, a photograph was clicked by a journalist when she was competing in New York, which he wouldn’t have thought could create such havoc in the near future. It was a normal photo of the athlete in the midst of the competition. But it turned out to be beyond a natural click of Allison.

Controversy

The journalist might have written about the athlete and published it with the photo he had taken. Soon it circulated on various websites unknowingly. But this was just a photo of an athlete and a lot of people write about them and their accomplishments. Then what might have happened that the photo suddenly came in limelight everyone’s eye?

Photographer’s Exasperation

Soon the photo and the blog went viral as wildfire and the news came in front of the photographer that had actually taken the photo. He was furious and upset about the salacious usage of the photo. He immediately went forward and raised his voice about the same and even decided to take action against the blogger if needed.
