Diver opens OnlyFans account to pay for Olympics training

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:33:42 GMT

MEXICO CITY (AP) — As a prominent 10-meter diver, Diego Balleza is used to wearing small swimsuits that show off his body. Now, desperate because of a lack of financial resources ahead of next year's Paris Olympics, the Mexican is making a leap to a different platform in which he also wears few clothes: OnlyFans.Balleza is one of several Mexican athletes who have been affected by a dispute between World Aquatics and Ana Guevara, the head of Mexico's national sports commission that, since January, has stopped providing monthly payments for aquatics athletes. World Aquatics suspended the president of the Mexican federation, Kiril Todorov, and appointed a commission to take charge while new elections were held.Todorov was suspended for the failure of the Mexican Swimming Federation to comply with the governing body's good governance standards. But Guevara refused to recognize the commission even though the Court of Arbitration for Sport confirmed the change.Guevara, a runner who won a ...

98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: My Husband Isn't Carrying His Weight With Housework!

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Charlotte, and it's about housework. Here's her email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I have a real dilemma. When my husband and I started our family, I put my career on hold to be home with the kids, which meant I took care of them and looked after the house. Once they were both in school, I went back to work, and my husband and I split household duties. Then the pandemic happened and my husband was laid off. It worked out pretty well because I made enough to support us and he was able to be home with the kids while they were out of school, and do the household chores. When they went back, he started looking for a job and immediately stopped doing most of the housework. He still hasn’t found a job yet and thinks that looking for a job is a full-time job, so he should only have to do half the work at home, like we did when we were both employed. I...

Dear Amy: I am the youngest of three sisters and have always had a rough relationship with my mom and sisters.I don’t fit in. They are all about drama.Recently, I received a call from my dad, asking me to visit.I was so stressed out the night before that I didn’t sleep. That morning, I almost threw up from so much anxiety about it. I never know what I’ll say that will set one of them off. Then the others follow suit.I can’t ask them questions. Anything I do say gets used against me.I have tried to give them a taste of their own medicine, but that only seems to increase the bullying.I want them in my life because they are my parents and sisters, but I don’t want to walk on eggshells around them.We have gone two years without talking before, and recently we went over a year with no contact.The times I didn’t have them in my life were amazing. My relationship with my husband flourished. I wasn’t stressed. My daughters did well because I was happy enough to...

Santiago: Tee time with the traitor, how Miami rolls for indicted Trump

He’s had trouble finding a first-class attorney to represent him at his Miami arraignment. His White House associates are now witnesses. His vice president is running against him.But Miami, oh Miami — alleged capital of democratic yearnings for the rest of the hemisphere — is staging a love fest for America’s caudillo in his darkest hour.The special counsel bringing Donald Trump to justice said the ex-president “put our country at risk.”But that Trump has been indicted on 37 felony counts of documented treasonous behavior — grave acts like bragging about possessing a military plan to invade Iran, knowingly stealing thousands of classified documents and storing them at Mar-a-Lago and obstructing justice instead of returning them — is only fuel to show him more adoration.“We love you!” a woman in an unmistakably rhythmic Miami accent kept shrieking as Trump entered his hotel in Doral Monday for an overnight stay before his arraignment Tuesday at the downtown Mi...
