Dire financial straits are leading droves of Olympic athletes to sell images of their bodies to subscribers on OnlyFans — known for sexually explicit content — to sustain their dreams of gold at the Games.

Britain's Jack Laugher competes in the men's 3m springboard diving preliminary in Saint-Denis, France on Aug. 6, 2024. As they struggle to make ends meet, a spotlight is being cast on an Olympics funding system that watchdog groups condemn as “broken,” claiming most athletes “can barely pay their rent.“

After medalling at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, Laugher, who scored another bronze in Paris last week for the U.K., said he was waiting for funding that never materialized. His account, costing US$10 a month for a subscription, says he posts “SFW content in Speedos, briefs, boxers.” A recent post from the Olympics got more than 1,400 likes.

Unable to secure traditional sponsorships, Mitcham began posting photos on OnlyFans, including semi-frontal nudes, earning triple the amount he received as a top athlete. “The entire funding model for Olympic sport is broken. The IOC generates now over US$1.7 billion per year and they refuse to pay athletes who attend the Olympics,” said Rob Koehler, Global Athlete's director general.“The majority of athletes can barely pay their rent, yet the IOC, national Olympic committees and national federations that oversee the sport have employees making over six figures. They all are making money off the backs of athletes.

Pole vaulter Alysha Newman has used the money she earned from OnlyFans to buy property and build up her savings. It highlights other “exceptionally talented OnlyFans athlete creators who were unable to compete in Paris this year,” including British divers Matthew Dixon, Daniel Goodfellow, and Matty Lee, along with British speed skater Elise Christie and Spanish fencer Yulen Pereira.

The financial incentive can be considerable. French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati shot to unexpected fame when his genitals snagged on the bar at a qualifying event. According to TMZ and other outlets, an adult site then offered him a six-figure sum to showcase his “talent” on its platform.
