Fighting on
Despite her failure to qualify for the Olympics, Allison was not deterred from striving hard on the field.
She began focusing on competing at a national level after she failed in 2012 and started training in Phoenix, where she engaged the services of a new coach. Stokke was driven to make it to the Olympics, especially after coming so close to London. But, after several failures over the previous years, she decided to retire from competing nationally in 2017.
