Meet Alex

Alexandra Ianculescu is an Olympic athlete, international sports broadcaster, Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Artist and professional cyclist. A former long-track speed skater, she represented both Canada and Romania on the World Cup circuit and competed in the 500 m event at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in PyeongChang. Today, alongside pursuing the Summer Olympic Games in cycling, she works globally as a sports broadcaster, announcer, and host, covering major international sporting events.

Known for her energetic on-site presence and ability to engage live audiences, Alexandra works as a freelance Olympic sport broadcaster and event announcer, conducting athlete interviews, crowd engagement, and live commentary at world-class competitions. Her background as an Olympian provides a unique perspective, allowing her to connect athletes, fans, and broadcasters with authentic insight into elite sport.

Born in 1991 in Sibiu, Romania, Alexandra began skiing and skating at the age of two. Her mother, a Romanian national champion speed skater in 1986, inspired her early passion for the sport. After moving with her family to Toronto, Canada in 2001, she began speed skating before relocating to Calgary at age 16 to pursue high-performance training.

She represented Canada at the World Junior Championships in 2011 and joined the Canadian National Senior Team in 2014, competing on the ISU World Cup circuit across Europe and Asia. Over her career, she raced in more than 48 World Cup competitions and two World Sprint Championships before competing at the 2018 Olympic Games.

Since 2020, Alexandra has been based in Europe, racing professionally with a Dutch Elite Women’s cycling team while training year-round on both the road and velodrome.

Outside of sport, Alexandra is also a creative entrepreneur and founded the luxury sportswear brand NinetyOne Collective in 2024, designing high-performance apparel for more than 17 international teams, including Bobsled Canada, Belgium Biathlon, Belgium Speed Skating and Denmark Speed Skating.

When she is not training or working at sporting events, she enjoys painting, design, cooking, and traveling.

Olympic Artist

Art has been a constant in Alexandra's life for as long as she can remember. Alongside her career as an Olympian and professional athlete, it has always been more than a creative outlet—it has been a place to slow down, disconnect from the demands of competition, and find a sense of flow and self-expression.

Today, Alexandra creates with renewed purpose. Inspired by movement, travel, and emotion, her abstract paintings explore the relationship between energy and stillness. Every original piece is created by hand, reflecting the same discipline, precision, and attention to detail that have defined her athletic career.

In 2025, Alexandra was selected as one of three Olympian Artists for the Olympic Art Project in collaboration with the International Olympic Committee, recognizing athletes who continue to inspire through creativity beyond sport. Her work has since been exhibited internationally, including photography featured at the Berlin Photo Awards and her Olympic Cities collection displayed at an art gallery in Bonn.

Working from her studio in Europe, Alexandra creates each piece by hand. Original artworks are released in limited quantities, with selected works available exclusively through this website.

There is no failing. In anything. There is only failing forward. You continue to learn in the process of becoming the human and athlete you are meant to be, by always tackling the tasks at hand, and overcoming those obstacles that are on your route. You need the obstacles to move forward. Only with those, and with pressure, you have the privilege of molding yourself into who you’re meant to be.
