Pole vaulter Melanie Adams is Australia's Allison Stokke

The sports wizards over at FanIQ has unearthed a lady soon to rival that of Internet legend Allison Stokke for the title of Hottest Female Pole Vaulter. Right now the list stands is composed of Stokke and uh, well, no one else. The woman we speak of is named Melanie Adams, she is from Australia... rowrrr... and she is a V8 Supercar Grid Girl (whatever the hell that is, I'm in favor of it).



And I would like to take this moment to scold the Web site MyFreeSport for the following paragraph, which appears in an article on the lovely young athlete...

She's Melanie Adams, a pole vaulter by trade - and, although that isn't instantly evident from the picture, you should have seen some of the shots we had to discard before settling on this one. Borderline smut, it was, with Miss Adams pouting and posturing in the type of attire that would never pass IOC muster, but which might make top-level athletics more appealing to the masses. In one shot, she appears to be carelessly spilling water down her sports brassière; in another, she sits sprawled on the cinder track in a shot more appropriate for a top-rack title.

Where the fuck are those pictures?! Horrible journalism. Just horrible.
