An Olympic athlete, who has a huge OnlyFans following, wowed supporters after winning a medal in pole vault.

Alysha Newman emerged victorious on Wednesday (August 7) after earning a bronze medal after finishing third in the pole vault event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Not only did the 30-year-old make history as Canada’s first pole vault medalist in 112 years, but she also reached a height of 4.85 meters - setting a national record in the process.

Her remarkable achievement comes after she failed to qualify for the final in her previous two Olympic games - Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and Tokyo in 2021.

The pole vaulter crowned off her outstanding performance with a unique celebration that has now gone viral.

Videos shared on social media show Newman jumping in excitement before twerking in front of onlookers at the Stade de France after her victory.

Outside of the pitch, Newman delights fans with her OnlyFans page, for which she charges subscribers $12 per month.

In an interview with Renee Paquette in 2022, the athlete opened up about the controversy surrounding her adult ventures, explaining: “I am that frisky out there female."

"I like to wear bikinis I like to take photos from behind and I like to show my curves because I don't know when I'm gonna lose this body," she added.

Fans are not disregarded by her side hustle and are instead praising her social media for Olympic success.

"Good on her!! You don’t paid much to win a medal everyone is doing it these days you go girl!!" one user on Facebook wrote.

"Genius moment just won thousands of more subscribers and beat the national record 4.85m as well as making it to the podium in Paris," a second user chimed in.

A third shared: "You Go Girl!! Good on ya Make the most out of it while you're young and while you can."

Newman also reflected on her impressive win, telling CBC she was "so excited" and "laug[ed]" when she earned a bronze medal.

"I laugh because getting third is, I mean I've never got third, but it's funny because you have to still wait and sit there and wait until the other girls are done," she said. "So I'm so awkwardly standing there like, 'What do I do? Do I celebrate? Do I kiss everyone? Do I cry?"

"It was a really surreal moment and it was awesome. I just feel like I'm very emotionally stable right now and just feel so honored to be the first [women's] pole vaulter to bring home an Olympic medal for Canada," she added.
