- Alica Schmidt has qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics. This is the German track and field athlete's debut at the world's biggest multi-event.
The sprinter celebrated qualifying on TikTok, where he has two million followers. He will appear in the mixed 4 x 400m relay event.
Previously, Schmidt had qualified for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, but he ultimately canceled his competition.
Now, Alica Schmidt has been named the sexiest athlete at the 2024 Paris Olympics. However, the 25-year-old runner underwent many twists and turns before securing a ticket to France.
Recently, he revealed he had turned down a six-figure sponsorship deal worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.
"Two months ago I received an offer from a famous brand. However, I was not 100 percent behind it."
"I don't feel comfortable with that. That's six figures for a campaign," he said as reported by The Sun.
I don't know what the strong reason is behind the rejection. He only said he did not support the brand, which he also did not name.
Alica Schmidt still chooses to stick to her income in the world of sports even though it is relatively small.
His only income from athletics is around 611 pounds or IDR 12 million per month.
"In principle, I have to say that it is not easy for most German track and field athletes to make a living from sport."
"There is definitely money to be made from competitions. In most competitions you don't make money."
"Personally, I can't live on just this amount (of income). For many competitions, you still have to cover travel and hotel costs, which are not always covered."
"Most of us study part-time to get a second source of income or even have a side job that we do," said Alica Schmidt.
Luckily, Alica Schmidt has a relatively large source of income from social media. Apart from TikTok, he has an Instagram account which has 4.9 million followers.
