Alica Schmidt is probably one of the nicest things that Olympia has to offer this year. Of course, the blonde’s attention was also drawn to her athletic performance – but also because of her pretty good Instagram account.
Light athlete and Olympic participant Alica Schmidt herself probably did not expect that she would attract attention not only because of her participation in the Olympic Games in Tokyo, but also because of her resounding success on Instagram. Things are going much better on the young athlete’s account than in the discipline in which she is competing.
Things are not going as smoothly at the Olympics as they are on Instagram
In the 4 x 400 meter mixed race of the German mixed relay, Alica was only allowed to watch from the bench and then the team embarrassed itself in the final. After a fall while changing and a botched handover, the quartet crossed the finish line very far behind in the last season – and the result was not counted.
Last hope for Alica Schmidt: the nomination for the women’s 4 x 400 meter relay on Friday. If that doesn’t work out, the Olympic Games would already be history for the easy athlete. But that will probably no longer affect her Instagram celebrity. And not only that: internationally, the 22-year-old is in demand like never before.

Voted the “hottest female athlete in the world”
The Australian magazine “Busted Coverage” declared her the hottest sportswoman in the world and the “New York Post” and “News Australia” also reported on the attractive sportswoman.
Alica Schmidt now has more than 2.2 million subscribers, and over 300,000 people follow her on TikTok. However, despite her popular social media presence, she makes it clear that athletics comes first. “About 30 percent of my training is focused on strength. Most of the time explosive and functional full-body exercises are on my schedule, “she told the New York Post. “It’s very effective.” For Schmidt, her other focus is on “strengthening and activating the leg muscles, the classic way with squats and lunges,” she says. “Then there are seven to eight training units per week that last between two and three hours.”
Of course, the beautiful athlete regularly shares the unique Olympic experience with her fans on Instagram. She recently posted a photo showing her training. She wrote: Day 2 in the Olympic Village. The preparations are underway and the food is delicious. So many impressions here and I am proud and grateful to be part of the German team ”.

Instagram helps her financially
“My focus is on sport. Social media tends to get distracted, ”said the Puma-sponsored athlete. “Off the track, I’m grateful to my followers because Instagram allows me to do my sport without having to have a part-time job,” she added. “It’s hard to make a living from athletics alone.” For this reason, Alica repeatedly publishes articles in which she advertises products, among other things for a great whale mane.

Is that still sporty?
Her followers seem a bit confused by the content of the young woman, because she mainly posts sexy and sporty photos, but some ask themselves: “What are you doing anyway? Your videos feature a lot of poses which is cool, but I can’t see your participation in the event anywhere, ”one person wrote in a comment.
“I didn’t know being hot was a sport,” joked someone else. Yes, maybe the focus in this case is really not on the athletic potential of Instagram beauty.
