Waiting her turn
Stokke’s career in 2008 was a fantastic success when she won two gold medals and broke the world record for pole vaulting. However, by the end of the competition, her pole vaulter performances weren’t what everyone was talking about.
It was at one of her events that a photographer took a photo of the athlete. It didn’t stand out in any way, but when it was published on With Leather, it caught everyone’s attention. Stokke had no idea how much that image would change her life until she saw herself on television.
