German track and field star Alica Schmidt rose to fame during the European under-20 athletics competitions, where she won silver in the four × 400m relay. Lately, Schmidt has taken over the internet, becoming a social media sensation.
The 23-year-old was inclined towards athletics from early in her life. She routinely competed in school and also managed to win several regional events.
Schmidt credited her parents for playing a vital part in her inclination towards athletics from a very young age. Her love for sports, along with a strong work ethic, is the reason for her incredible showing in her short career on the track so far.
Schmidt’s father, a track and field athlete, sensed her potential early on. She joined a local athletics club and participated in the first track and field competition at seven.
