There was a time when many women athletes would not even get a glance, but that has long since changed.
Today, many of these athletes look more like supermodels than track stars, skiers, and ball players.
That leads us to German track star, Alica Schmidt.
Run, Forest, Run
Schmidt really came into the public eye in 2017 when she finished in second place at the Under 20’s German Championship in the 200 meters event…
She also ran on the German 4*400 relay team, which took second…
In 2018, Schmidt added the 400-meter hurdle to her card…
During the 2020 Summer Olympics, which were delayed by COVID, Schmidt was named as part of the 4*400 meter relay team again, although she did not compete.
It may have seemed like her career was on the downswing, but she was again named to the Olympic team for Germany in the 2024 Summer Games in the 400-meter mixed relay race…
Sadly, her Olympic return did not get a medal in the event, with the Netherlands, United States, and Great Britain taking the medals…
That is all for now on Alica, boys, but you can follow her on Instagram if you want to see more of her.
