Elise Christie Joins OnlyFans: A New Chapter After an Illustrious Skating Career
Former Team GB Olympian Elise Christie has ventured into a new endeavor by joining OnlyFans, where she is actively engaging with her fanbase by sharing exclusive content, including images in her former Team GB kit. Christie, aged 34, retired from professional short track speed skating in 2021 after a distinguished career.
Christie’s Achievements in Speed Skating
Throughout her career, Christie made significant impacts at the international level, participating in three Winter Olympics. She made history as the first British woman to win a world championship title in the sport. Her remarkable performance at the 2017 World Championships in Rotterdam was a highlight where she clinched gold in both the 1000m and 1500m races and secured the overall title. Christie also set a world record in the 500m event with a time of 42.335 seconds during a World Cup event in Salt Lake City on November 13, 2016.
Olympic Challenges and Resilience
Despite her success at world championships, Christie’s Olympic journey was fraught with hurdles, including disqualifications and crashes at the Vancouver 2010, Sochi 2014, and PyeongChang 2018 Winter Games, unfortunately preventing her from securing an Olympic medal.
Transitioning to OnlyFans
Since her retirement, Christie has shifted her focus towards building a new kind of connection with her audience through OnlyFans. Describing herself as "your favourite speed demon on ice, now providing a personal glimpse beyond the rink," Christie aims to deliver content that is both "spontaneous and exhilarating." Her decision to post content in her Team GB uniform has sparked mixed reactions among her followers. In one playful social media caption, she humorously inquired if her Team GB gear was "tight enough," highlighting her enduring pride and nostalgia for her skating career.
Trend of Athletes on OnlyFans
Christie’s move to OnlyFans reflects a broader trend among athletes who are turning to the platform to continue interacting with fans and monetize their personal brands following retirement from professional sports.
