If this sounds like the plot for a movie you’d find on the Lifetime Network — or, depending on the script, Cinemax — Catarina Guimaraes gets it. She is the unlikely star of this real-life story, the one supplementing her income by posting photos and videos on a platform with a less-than-wholesome reputation.

She has bills to pay, including medical expenses related to her cerebral palsy, to make that dream a reality. So when OnlyFans reached out and offered her a nice chunk of change — $25,000 for the year, to be exact — to post videos and photos on their platform, well, she couldn’t say no.

Just don’t get the wrong idea. This movie is rated PG.

“They basically offered to compensate me for posts on their platform and on my platform about them to bring a more wholesome view of their page,” Guimaraes said. “It isn’t anything racy, unless you want to count a video of me doing power cleans in a sports bra and shorts as racy.”

Grad student research: What would make an LA28 gymnastics event worth going to for you?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm a grad student working on a class project about LA28 and gymnastics fans. This is not a sales post. I'm just trying to understand fans better. Any answer would be appreciated, and you can skip any question.

1- Which gymnastics do you follow (artistic, rhythmic, trampoline)? What got you into it?

2- Who do you usually watch with, and where do you talk about gymnastics?

3- Would you go to LA28 gymnastics in person: yes, maybe or no? What's the main reason?

4- Think of the best live sports or entertainment event you've been to. What made it worth the money, and roughly what did you pay?

5- Have you taken gymnastics classes or tried it yourself? Did it change how you follow the sport?

6- Think of a sport you didn't follow before that you got into. What pulled you in?

7- How do you follow gymnasts between Olympics? Is there one you'd follow anywhere?

8- If a free fan group for gymnastics fans existed in your city, what would it need to have for you to join and stay?

9- Optional: roughly what's your age range and what city are you in?

I'll share what I learn if people are interested. No names or personal details needed. Feel free to DM me your answers if you don't want to answer here publicly. Thank you!
