German bobsledding sensation Lisa Buckwitz, a former Olympic gold medalist, has found an unconventional way to fund her journey to the 2026 Winter Games – through OnlyFans. In an interview with German outlet Bild, Buckwitz, 31, expressed her gratitude for the platform, calling it "the best thing that could have happened to me." The financial support helps cover the extensive costs of her bobsled season, estimated to exceed $69,000.
Buckwitz first rose to fame with a gold medal win at the 2018 Olympics and later placed fourth in 2022. Announcing her OnlyFans collaboration in November 2024, she emphasized that it's all about sharing the "heart and hustle" behind her bobsleigh journey. "From intense training days to the exhilaration on race day, I’m inviting you behind the scenes to experience what it truly takes to push limits at the highest level," she shared on Instagram.
"It’s a bit sad that I can’t just focus on my competitive sport," Buckwitz said. "Sure, I’m an Olympic champion. But nobody’s interested in Lisa Buckwitz just because of the gold medal. That’s unfortunately the downside."
Buckwitz's OnlyFans page is a treasure trove for fans, offering subscription bundles ranging from $59.98 to $194.92. She promises content that includes high-performance training, behind-the-scenes footage, photoshoots, and exclusive interactions. Her page not only supports her financially but also allows her to connect with her audience in a unique way, as she noted her appreciation for the support received from her online community.
As the 2026 Winter Olympics approach, Buckwitz is gearing up for the games in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. The opening ceremony, slated for February 6, will feature performances from stars like Mariah Carey and Andrea Bocelli. Recently, Buckwitz shared her excitement about her new race suit on Instagram, expressing her readiness to compete and hopefully reclaim Olympic glory.
