‘World’s Sexiest Athlete’ Alica Schmidt Olympic Debut in Tokyo Takes a Terrible Turn
The "World's Sexiest Athlete" Alica Schmidt missed her supposed Olympic debut after an unfortunate turn of events in Tokyo.
According to New York Post, the track and field star was set to compete for her first Olympic medal in the women's 4×400 mixed relay on Saturday night.
However, Alica Schmidt was not able to see any action after the German mixed team was disqualified. The team has been disqualified after the German team made contact with the Jamaican team.
The 22-year-old German, commonly referred to as the "World's Sexiest Athlete," most likely did not expect her Olympic debut to turn out like this.
However, Alica Schmidt still has a chance of taking home a medal for Germany as she could still possibly be selected by the German track and field for their women's 4x400m relay on Friday.

The "World's Sexiest Athlete" added that she was doing seven to eight training sessions a week that last between two and three hours to develop her leg muscles.
