German sprinter, Olympic hurdles hopeful, and professional runway model Alica Schmidt lives a very busy life.
In recent weeks Alica Schmidt has been training hard for the 2023 German Indoor Championships. She went on to finish 4th in the 400 meters hurdles and 1st in the 4×200 Metres Relay.
Earlier this week she marked ‘500 days until Paris’ on her calendar with a viral video. The date marked 500 days until the Paris Olympics and a milestone training moment for Olympic hopefuls like herself. As a hurdles specialist, she is hoping to make the German National Team.
Somehow in the midst of her busy Track & Field training schedule, Schmidt found time to fly to Miami. She appeared on the catwalk as a runway model for a recent Boss fashion show.
Alica shared behind-the-scenes footage of her ‘day in the life as a model’ in a TikTok video. She also share an Instagram video of her walking the runway.

Many of her followers were (oddly) surprised the TikTok was in German. The top comment reads “I was so sure this was English and I just wasn’t listening properly.”
Alica Schmidt also shared this video of her strutting in an oversized retro pantsuit:
The baggy and chic business attire is a far cry from what her followers are used to seeing.
Most of Alica Schmidt’s videos are moments of her warming up for a race and filmed on the track. Videos like these:
The concentration and coordination required to navigate the hurdles is unmatched:
The 24-year-old Sprinter from Worms, Germany has previously been named the ‘world’s sexiest athlete’ by some. She has over 4.6 million followers between TikTok and Instagram.
When asked about her title as the ‘world’s sexiest athlete’, Alica Schmidt previously told The Sun “I do not know why I got this title. Sport comes clearly first There are thousands of girls on Instagram who look good and still do not have as many fans.”
