Olympian Alica Schmidt reveals intimate ‘first and only tattoo’
German Olympic runner Alica Schmidt recently marked a new milestone by debuting her first tattoo.
Schmidt, 25, participated in her first Olympics in Paris this summer, competing in the mixed 4x400m relay. Though she had previously been a reserve in Tokyo in 2021, Schmidt was controversially selected over her teammate Luna Bulmahn for the women’s 4x400m relay, raising some eyebrows. Unfortunately, her team didn’t advance past the heats in either event. Reflecting on her Olympic experience, Schmidt described the three-week trip as an "emotional rollercoaster."
