Tokyo - Germany’s track and field star, Alicia Schmidt is the ‘Worlds sexiest athlete’ and she received her bombshell title four years ago after a Busted Coverage story went viral. Not only has the flattering superlative stuck, her long-term dreams of becoming an Olympian have come to fruition.
"TOKYO IS CALLING - I ‘m going to the Olympics," Schmidt announced on Instagram. "Still feels unreal! I am so grateful and at the same time thrilled to experience something I have been dreaming of since I started all of this! Bring it on - I so can’t wait for this."
Schmidt will compete in the women's 4x400m relay and the Games' first 4x400m mixed relay. Schmidt has been competitive for years, having claimed a silver medal at the 2017 European Athletics Under-20 Championship in the 4x400m relay.
While Schmidt boasts 1.7 million followers on Instagram alone, she maintains a modest attitude regarding her "world's sexiest" status.
"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." – Agencies July 25, 2021
