Pole vaulter Alysha Newman, who won a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, hasn’t faced much backlash since twerking after her event, but she is dealing with a new crop of subscribers on her OnlyFans demanding things.
The 30-year-old Canadian gained global attention with her dance moves after winning the medal, a first in Canadian women’s pole vaulting.
ANewman’s OnlyFans account page crashed after she received 20,000 new subscribers and counting, she told Daily Mail.
Since the Summer Games, Alysha Newman’s Instagram has also swelled with more than 200,000 new subscribers.
“It’s quite insane,” she said.
“My whole team, we had to get on a phone call because … the (OnlyFans) website was crashing because of how many people actually came on.”

Canadian Pole Vaulter Alysha Newman Reveals What Fans Are Requesting From Her On OnlyFans
Alysha Newman knows the exposure from the Paris Olympics has increased her fan base, which in turn has earned her more money.
She spoke to SunSport about gaining more followers: “I felt that, with or without the medal, getting the exposure on the worldwide stage would give me an additional fanbase.
“I was really excited because I was with people who have been with me since 2021, but now I have all these new fans that are like, ‘Oh my gosh, she was so fun and entertaining’.
“What I have been hearing the most is people telling they have never been more interested in the women’s pole vault and that makes my heart so excited.
“Because, in the past, I think it’s true that my personality was more related than the actual sport.”
She said: “I always get strange requests.
“I get excited about what people ask for, it gives me a good insight into what people are thinking about me.
“Lots of people have asked for photos of all my medals lined up – they love that stuff.
“It’s different stuff that I never thought would be intriguing, and it just shows you how unique and cool the human brain is and how different everyone is.
“So it’s been fun to create that content, to help them feel like they’ve been seen.
“I’ll work with my photographers and videographers and say, ‘This person wants this set up, how do we make that come to life for them?’
“It’s a different way of creating content for individuals I have connected with over the past five years.”
Newman stated that she had her reservations about joining OnlyFans since the platform is only popular for nude content.
Newman’s channel includes training sessions, sexy lingerie photoshoots, and videos.
She has yet to dive into the nude content.
