In 2024, Alica Schmidt, a German track star known as the “world’s sexiest athlete,” will be heading to Paris for the Olympics. This achievement comes three years after she faced difficulties in Tokyo. Schmidt was part of the team that qualified for the mixed 4×400-meter race at the World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24.
Schmidt shared her excitement about this achievement on her Instagram Stories, writing, “From paradise to Paris.” She and her teammates celebrated their qualification with a trip around Nassau, swimming with pigs on the island. Despite setbacks at the 2022 European Championships and the World Athletics Championships where she failed to qualify, Schmidt is determined to make her mark in Paris.
She took a break from the sport in 2021 after missing out on a medal at the Tokyo Olympics. However, in 2023, she was named a Forbes 30 Under 30 member and has a massive following on Instagram.
