Alica Schmidt, who is known as the “world’s sexiest athlete” in the track and field realm, has a huge fan following. However, recently, the 25-year-old German track athlete herself had a fangirl moment when she met Hollywood actors Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

On X, “Track Spice” shared a video that shows Schmidt chatting and taking photographs with Smith and Lawrence. The video, which included Schmidt’s fangirl moment with the “Bad Boys” actors, was captioned “Alica Schmidt meeting Will Smith and Martin Lawrence 🔥.” Schmidt was also seen getting the autographs of the two stars.

Alica Schmidt punched her ticket to Paris by competing in the World Athletics Relays in the Bahamas last weekend where she was part of the 4×400 meter relay. Additionally, she shared an Instagram Story of herself and other teammates celebrating getting into the Olympics. She said, “What a night,” alongside athletes Manuel Sanders, Johanna Martin, and Emil Agyekum, all of whom are German.

However, Schmidt’s path to the Olympics is packed with noteworthy accomplishments. During the 2017 European Athletics U20 Championships, the German runner placed second in the 4 × 400-meter relay, and again in the 2019 European Athletics U23 Championships, the squad placed third in the same event. She coached the fitness of Bundesliga team Borussia Dortmund in earlier times. While Schmidt did not compete, she was a member of the German relay team at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Alica Schmidt’s thoughts beyond athletics

The effect of Alica Schmidt goes beyond the run. She is a combination of flair and athleticism as a brand ambassador for Hugo Boss. With millions of Instagram and TikTok followers, she has a strong social media presence. By sharing workout regimens, inspirational posts, and intimate moments on this platform, she reaches a worldwide audience.

Social media has a significant role in an athlete’s career, according to Schmidt. She highlighted the need to use social media to deal with sponsorship, particularly in Germany, in a conversation with Olympics.com. Schmidt stated, “A lot of athletes have to do another job to live from athletics.” She mentioned how social media may help athletes get extra money so they can concentrate more on their preparation and competition.

Even with her popularity, Schmidt is committed to her sport. The 25-year-old skillfully juggles her tasks claiming, “I love to do some model jobs or take people with me on social media.” But athletics take center stage. Her previous successes and her training for the Olympics in Paris attest dedication.

Moreover, outside the track, Schmidt has maintained a low-key private life despite her growing notoriety. Renowned for her connections to prominent players and celebrities, she was photographed at Milan Fashion Week in 2022 alongside British boxer Anthony Joshua and supermodel Naomi Campbell. That same year, she stood for pictures with Brazilian football player Neymar.
