Meet Allison Stokke
Allison Stokke was born on 22 March 1989. She grew up with her parents and brother in California. Sports have been part of her life since she was little. David, her brother, was good at gymnastics and even competed in tournaments. Her parents also urged her to try gymnastics because of her success. Soon after she tried it, she learned that it wasn’t for her. She didn’t give up on sports completely and simply looked for something better for her.
