Canadian ice skater and cyclist Alexandra Ianculescu is turning heads not just for her athletic prowess but for her unique approach to funding her Olympic dreams. Starting her journey at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Games, Alexandra is now setting her sights on the Los Angeles 2028 Summer Games. Her journey has taken a detour through the digital platform OnlyFans, where she shares exclusive content to support her ambitions.
Born in Romania in 1991, Alexandra moved to Toronto, Canada, in 2001. It was there that she fell in love with skating, joining a local short track club. Her passion and talent propelled her to compete for Canada at the Junior World Championships in 2011 and later for Romania at the 2018 Winter Games in the 500m speed skating event.
After her time on the ice, Alexandra transitioned to cycling, with her eyes firmly set on the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. However, like many athletes, she needed a steady income to fund her training. In 2021, she took a friend's advice and started an OnlyFans account. "I made an OnlyFans account in 2021," Alexandra shared. "It's helping me survive, pay rent, pay for groceries, and covers my cycling and coffee bills."
"Someone suggested, 'Why don't you have an OnlyFans account and create a behind-the-scenes look at everything you do?' I like my body, and I want to post it anyway, so I said, 'I'll give it a month and see how it goes,' and it was crazy!"
Alexandra's decision to monetize her content has allowed her to continue pursuing her Olympic dream without financial stress. The athlete embraces her choice confidently, finding empowerment in controlling her narrative and finances.
Though she didn't qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympics, Alexandra remains undeterred. Her focus is now on Los Angeles 2028. "I'm patient. I plan to do this for a long time," she said, emphasizing her long-term commitment to her sport and her life goals. "I don't plan on settling down and buying a house and having kids and getting dogs anytime soon," she added.
With her unyielding determination and the financial support from her OnlyFans account, Alexandra Ianculescu is a name to watch as she pedals towards her Olympic dream in Los Angeles.
