An Attempt To Help Her
After everything that she was going through, it is admirable to hear that she tried to look at the bright side of things. With her photos going viral, CBS wanted to use the story as a warning to young women. The story talked about how young female public figures could land in worrying situations with just one photo. There is no need for consent, which is why CBS brought attention to the way the internet and social media puts them in danger. Stokke was also sad that people ignored her talents for her looks.
Years Of Hard Work Wasted
It is unfortunate to hear that she is not the only person who goes through this. If you have also spent a lot of time working on your talents, you would also understand. The viral photos of her made people overlook her talent. She spent a lot of time training, beating her records, and making a name for herself in the industry. All of a sudden, her pole vault achievements no longer mattered. By 2010, a Google search of her name would result in a million results. Most of them had nothing to do with the sport.
