Funding Her Dreams

Last year, Ianculescu garnered attention by announcing her unconventional path to funding her Olympic aspirations. Transitioning from speed skating to cycling, the Romanian-Canadian athlete set her sights on representing Canada at the 2024 Summer Games in Paris. Unlike her previous Olympic endeavors on ice, this new pursuit required financial backing due to the amateur status of Canada's cycling team.
Turning to OnlyFans, a platform known for subscription-based content, Ianculescu found a creative solution to fund her Olympic journey. By sharing exclusive content, including bikini photos and other personalized material, she explained to the Daily Star that the earnings from her OnlyFans account are pivotal in covering training costs and other expenses associated with competitive cycling.
Having retired from speed skating in November 2021, Ianculescu's entrepreneurial approach highlights the evolving landscape of athlete sponsorship and funding in sports, demonstrating a blend of athleticism and business acumen to achieve her sporting dreams.
'100% OnlyFans'

With her focus shifted entirely to cycling training, Ianculescu has temporarily set aside her personal training business.
"It's fully 100% OnlyFans because I didn't have the time to do personal training anymore," she explained about her current income source.
The idea to start an OnlyFans account came from a suggestion made to her: "'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.'"
Initially surprised by the concept, she recalled, "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!"
