"I think you just have to let the people talk whenever they want to. There are always people who judge you. That's part of the game and I'm happy that I have so many supporters along the way. I'm so, so grateful for that. I don't feel like I have to prove anything to anyone. It's just for me. I just want to prove myself that I'm worth it. "

Schmidt performed quite well in the 2024 season, taking podium finishes in the 400m event at the German Championships, German Indoor Championships, and ISTAF Berlin. She will hope to make the Germany roster for the 2025 World Athletics Championships that will take place in September.
