An Olympic medallist who produced an R-rated celebration in Paris saw her OnlyFans page crash after going viral online.
Canadian Alysha Newman won the bronze medal in the pole vault, with only USA's Katie Moon and Australian Nina Kennedy finishing ahead of her after she scored 4.85m in the final.
Newman broke a national record and became the first female pole vaulter to secure an Olympic medal for her country.

And after clearing 4.85m, she hit headlines after performing a twerking celebration.
The 39-year-old feigned an injury before bending her legs, putting her hands on her thighs and proceeding to vigorously shake her bottom - with the clip blowing up online and a BBC commentator having a priceless reaction.
As well as competing at the highest level, Newman is an OnlyFans medal after joining the platform following the Tokyo Olympics.
She explained the move came after realising she "was sexualised in the sport naturally by what I wear, and my beauty" but Newman has been able to fund her career as an elite athlete through OnlyFans, where she's experienced '"wild" growth in recent times.
"It's been wild," she told TMZ Sports.
"I think the most rewarding think is to give people who have been with me since 2021, they get to see my medal up and close.
"I thanked a lot of people online and was messaging every single person I possibly could.
"[I've had] 10 times more than what I've had before. I can't say a real number and the only reason I'm not saying it is as we speak numbers are being added."
Her subscriptions have gone through the roof, so much so that she told the Daily Mail that her team had to have a call with OnlyFans software employees after her site crashed.
Newman, who posts a range of different content has added 20,000 new subscribers on her site, where she charges $7.79 per subscription - meaning she's technically earned $155,800.
With not too much support financially from the government, that money can go towards a number of different costs related to training, coaching and recovery, as well as investments in other projects.
And after picking up one medal, Newman is hungry for another when the next Olympics in Los Angeles rolls around in 2028.
"I was just saying I felt like I was in my prime when I was 27 years old," she explained.
"But then all of a sudden, I get this medal, and I just got this sense, like, sense of energy and aura around me that I never had before. This confidence and this security in myself that now I feel like I can just let loose. I got a medal, I'm an Olympic medalist."
