Watching his sponsorships dry up and facing mounting costs, Laugher, and other current and former Olympians — rower Robbie Manson , pole vaulter Alysha Newman , divers Timo Barthel , Diego Belleza Isaias and Matthew Mitcham , the first openly gay Olympic gold medallist — found a measure of financial stability in OnlyFans that other funding failed to provide.

"My content is nude or implied nude. I keep it artistic, I have fun with it and try not to take myself too seriously. That's something I've also tried to maintain in my approach to rowing ... This approach has helped me achieve a personal best result at the Olympics," he told the AP. These can include coaching, physical therapy and equipment, at a cost of thousands of dollars a month, as well as basic living expenses. Some delegations fund training, with the athletes covering medical bills and daily expenses. In other delegations, athletes pay for everything themselves.

"I never loved how amateur athletes can never make a lot of money," she said. "This is where my entrepreneurial skills came in."
