Alex Walsh and Alica Schmidt

As the 2024 Paris Olympics unfold, several athletes are gaining attention both for their performances and their off-field activities. British diver Jack Laugher, a gold medalist, has turned to OnlyFans to supplement his income, revealing that he earns around 28,000 pounds annually from diving, which he considers modest for a top athlete. Meanwhile, U.S. volleyball player Andrea 'Annie' Drews is making waves with her leadership on the court, helping her team secure a spot in the quarterfinals. German runner Alica Schmidt, dubbed the 'sexiest athlete in the world,' is set to debut in the 4x400-meter relay and has garnered significant social media attention with over 5 million followers. Additionally, American swimmer Alex Walsh, known for her bikini photos, is preparing for her event after winning silver in the last Olympics. The contrasting financial realities of these athletes underscore the challenges many face in sustaining a living solely through sport.
