Streaker from Liverpool's Champions League final win reveals new career twist

Kinsey Wolanski, the woman who invaded the pitch during Liverpool’s 2019 Champions League final win, has shared a new career update.

Wolanski was the streaker who interrupted play at the Wanda Metropolitano for the Champions League final between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur nearly four years ago. The Reds won the match 2-0 in June 2019 thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Divock Origi.

The 26-year-old ran onto the pitch in Madrid wearing a swimsuit that promoted the website Vitaly Uncensored. Stewards quickly rushed to escort Wolanski off the pitch, but the incident saw her gain plenty of attention on social media.

Following that exposure and attention, Wolanski is now going down a different career path. Sharing a video on his TikTok profile, she explained how she is now a qualified helicopter pilot.

“Getting my pilot’s licence was one of the most challenging but rewarding things I’ve ever done,” wrote Wolanski to her three million followers on TikTok.

“I flew 112 hours before taking my flight check ride exam. You have to pass three exams. Intense written exam, oral exam on the ground and lastly the inflight exam.

“The entire process took me 1.5 years.”
