Canadian Olympian Alysha Newman Poses for Maxim Following Historic Pole Vault Medal

Alysha Newman, a Canadian pole vaulter, made history at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris by winning bronze, marking Canada's first Olympic medal in pole vaulting in 112 years. She celebrated her victory by twerking, a moment that went viral and drew widespread attention. Newman, who has long dreamed of modeling and content creation, has since landed a cover feature with Maxim magazine, defying earlier advice that she had to choose between athletics and modeling. She has openly discussed her decision to join OnlyFans as a way to control her own image amid the natural sexualization she experiences in sport. Despite her growing modeling career and social media presence with over a million followers, Newman remains dedicated to her sport and cherishes the pride of representing Canada. Her story highlights her dual identity as both an elite athlete and a model, challenging traditional expectations in both fields.
