'I LIKE MY BODY'

I’m an Olympian but posting sexy bikini pics on OnlyFans pays my bills – the money is crazy

CANADIAN athlete Alexandra Ianculescu is using OnlyFans to help fulfil her dream of competing at both the Winter and Summer Olympic Games.

The 31-year-old was in action at the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.

A last-minute call-up for the speed skating team, Ianculescu came last after not being able to properly prepare.

Having transitioned to cycling, she is hoping to again represent her country in Paris next year.

After committing to the amateur Dutch team NWVG-Uplus, Ianculescu hasn't been able to find time for her previous personal training job.

But a new venture into OnlyFans has seen her able to focus on her Games dream.

She told the : "I made an OnlyFans account in 2021.

"It's helping me survive, pay my rent, pay for groceries, and it covers the cycling and the coffee bills.

"Someone suggested, 'Why don't you just have an OnlyFans account and create like a behind-the-scenes of what you do?

"And since you post bikini photos anyway, you can actually charge for that'.

"I was like, 'seriously, people pay for that?'

"Like, I like my body. I want to post it anyway… So I said, 'I'll give myself one month and see how it goes'. And it was crazy!"

On what happened during her previous Games experience, Ianculescu explained: "You can't sharpen your knife last minute.

"So I had to make the best of it. I got off the ice, and I started crying.

"I knew that it wasn't the best I could do."

Last November, Ianculescu explained her OnlyFans decision in detail on Instagram, while confirming that she would be using it daily moving forward.

She wrote: "Last summer I decided to start this account since I kept getting crazy amounts of ‘likes’ on bikini photos and people would suggest selling them on this platform.

"I thought it was the biggest joke and didn’t want to be seen as someone that was known for selling ‘bikini shots’, considering I worked so hard as athlete, worked hard to have an education, speak multiple languages and truly love the image of myself that I created and respected.

";With that being said, after making 💰💰💰 in my first month on there, it has totally changed my life for the better.

"I make less now as I have not been as active this summer.

"But I enjoy training full time now, affording trips to places I never dreamed on going to anytime soon, buying my dream bikes, saving for my dream car(s).

"And being able to enjoy it in a way where I don’t have to sacrifice my athletic life to work 3 part-time jobs like I used to in the past, while pursuing Olympic Dreams.

"I used to care what people thought, but then I realised that their opinions don’t pay my bills.

"So I am going to continue owning it and using it to the max because I like how comfortable I have become in my own body, and how I learned to love myself in a different way.

"So…tomorrow (Dec 1) is my “AMA” on my OF. I’m back using it daily".
