Canadian Alysha Newman, bronze medalist in pole vaulting at the 2024 Olympics, said that she enjoys combining sports and the modeling business in her career.
İdman.biz reports that she told Maxim magazine about this.
"When I was little, I was told that I had to choose: either be an athlete or a model. I never understood why I couldn't choose both. For a long time, I believed them and chose athletics. I gave my whole heart and soul to it," Newman said.
The Olympic medalist says she is currently experiencing a turning point in her life: "I grew up dreaming of being photographed in Maxim. Being a part of the magazine now is a surreal and at the same time a wonderful feeling. To be honest, I am very happy with my life."
