When Alica Schmidt opened up about financial struggles while handling both athletics and a modeling career

Alica Schmidt once sat for a conversation with Olympics in 2022, where she made her feelings known about how she handles her financial struggles while juggling between athletics and modeling. She revealed the significance of social media, stating that it helps the athletes in getting sponsors, and also opened up about how she takes time out of her athletics career for her modeling career.

Talking about all athletes doing a side job for financial gain, she said:

"It's good for all us athletes to be active on social media in order to get sponsors. It's not easy, especially in Germany to live from athletics. So a lot of athletes have to do another job to live from that and do the training. And yeah that's a great thing to do a social media on the side so you can get some more sponsors," said Alica Schmidt.

She added:

"Sometimes it's not that easy, the training is, of course, the main focus and all other things come behind that. But I also love to do some model jobs or take the people with me on social media. It's a big hobby of mine and I love to do that. But the main focus is sports."

Ahead of the 2025 season, Alica Schmidt competed at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she fell short of earning a podium in all the events she ran in.
