Alica Schmidt, the athlete famously dubbed the “World’s Sexiest Athlete,” recently revealed her first and only tattoo, marking a personal milestone in her career. The German Olympian shared a post on Instagram showcasing the new ink, a permanent tribute to her Olympic journey.
Schmidt, who has competed in two Olympic Games, decided to commemorate the experience with a subtle tattoo of the iconic Olympic rings on her hip. She posted a video on her Instagram Stories, showing the tattooing process and the final result. The rings serve as a lasting reminder of the two Olympic events she has participated in, symbolizing her dreams of returning for a third. Although she has not won medals in her Olympic appearances, Schmidt remains hopeful for future success.
With 5.8 million followers on Instagram, Schmidt expressed her excitement and satisfaction with the tattoo in the post, writing, “I’m sooo happy, it turned out exactly how I wanted.” The tattoo is a meaningful tribute to her Olympic career, and she has every reason to wear the Olympic logo proudly.
Despite competing in events such as the 4x400m relay and the mixed 4x400m relay at both the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Schmidt has yet to take home a medal. However, she is perhaps best known for her title as the “World’s Sexiest Athlete,” a label that has garnered attention for reasons beyond her athleticism.
Regardless of the attention, Schmidt maintains a positive attitude, embracing the experience of competing on the world’s biggest stage. After the Paris Olympics, she shared her perspective with her fans on Instagram, emphasizing that the Games are about more than just medals. “The Olympics are not just about winning medals. It’s about being alongside inspiring athletes while competing at the highest level. Showing ambition, celebrating diversity, and people no matter who they are and where they are from,” Schmidt wrote.
Now, with the Olympic rings permanently etched on her hip, Alica Schmidt continues to embrace both the lessons and the experience gained from being part of the global sporting community.
