Olympic star Alexandra Ianculescu has revealed why she bares it all on content subscription platform OnlyFans, claiming the career move has ‘completely changed her life for the better’.
The Romanian, who lives in Calgary, Canada, competed in the women’s 500 meters speed skating at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
She has since switched sports and taken up road and track cycling as she aims to make a second appearance at the Games.

Now, Ianculescu has shed light on why she decided to join the growing group of athletes treating fans to exclusive insights on the subscription service.

But her primary focus seems to be selling photos of herself on Only Fans, as she balances a budding career on the platform with her long-term goal of making it among the medals.
On Instagram, where she also posts racy photos for her 320,000 followers, she wrote: ‘Why OnlyFans? I thought it would be appropriate to share this post again since I get asked about it all the time.
‘Let’s start with some negative aspects. The point is that the world will always judge you no matter what you do.
‘Regardless of the subject, you are too much or too little, too fat or too thin, too weird or boring. Fortunately, I discovered at an early age that I will always do things my way.’
Ianculescu emphasized that her OnlyFans journey does not hinder her new sporting ambitions, but rather facilitates them.
“In 2021, I decided to open this account because I kept getting so many likes on bikini photos and people suggested that I sell them on this platform,” she said. ‘I thought it was the biggest joke.
‘I didn’t want to be seen as someone known for selling ‘bikini photos’ as I have worked so hard as an athlete, worked hard for my education, speak multiple languages and really love the image I have of myself . I created and respected.
‘My life completely changed for the better after my first month there.
‘I now enjoy training full-time, being able to afford the equipment I need, my dream bikes, saving for other goals in life and being able to enjoy it in a way that doesn’t require me to sacrifice my sporting life. three part-time jobs like I used to do while chasing my Olympic dreams.”
The Romanian-Canadian is certainly not the only sports star with an eye on Olympic gold who has turned to OnlyFans to make ends meet.
