Mixed Reactions: Hero or Hype?

Now, let’s get into the juicy part - the reactions. Alysha’s twerking celebration has split fans down the middle faster than you can say ‘pole vault.’ Some viewers weren’t holding back their disapproval, with one X user commenting that Olympic athletes are supposed to be ‘heroes’ and calling the move ‘gross,’ while another deemed it ‘inappropriate.’

But hold up - not everyone’s throwing shade. Alysha’s got a squad of supporters clapping back at the haters. One fan defended her on X, saying, ‘Let someone who’s worked hard for 4 years have fun. Y’all sitting on the couch getting closer to type 2 diabetes every day.’ Ouch! It’s clear her celebration has sparked a debate about how athletes should express their joy - and we’re loving the passion on both sides.

‘I’m all about athletes showing their personality - Alysha’s twerk was a bold way to own her moment, and I’m here for it!’ - A supportive fan on social media.

Behind the Platform

Beyond the twerking drama, Alysha’s also been open about her side hustle on OnlyFans, which some speculate might’ve been tied to her viral celebration. Speaking to German outlet BILD, she shared that the platform boosts her confidence and helps her earn a little extra. But before you jump to conclusions, she’s keeping it classy - no fully nude content here, just training sessions, nutrition chats, and insider tips.

Her subscription usually runs at about $13 a month, though she dropped it to around $7 during the Olympics - a little gold-medal discount, perhaps? Alysha knows OnlyFans comes with a certain stigma, but she’s unbothered. ‘I can’t change many people’s minds,’ she told BILD, adding that the platform has connected her with more fans than any other pole vaulter in history.

She wrapped up by reflecting on the honor of being the first Canadian pole vaulter to bring home an Olympic medal. ‘I just feel so emotionally stable right now and so honored,’ she said. It’s clear that, twerk or no twerk, Alysha’s journey to the podium is a dream come true - and we’re cheering her on every step of the way!
