Alica Schmidt's 800m debut race of the 2025 season in Erfurt, Germany, did not pan out as expected, as she earned a sixth-place finish. Following this race, the athlete expressed her disappointment by sharing a post on Instagram.

She uploaded a video of her indoor season debut race and added a caption reflecting on her performance. The German athlete stated that it wasn't where she wanted to be but that she would keep working hard for future races.

"800m debut in the books 🙌🏼 Honestly, not where I wanted to be - still a long way to go but I know it‘s part of the process. I‘m so excited for this journey and every race that gives me experience! Grateful for my team for always having each others back. Next race on Tuesday 💪🏼," Alica Schmidt wrote.

This isn't the only time when Schmidt spoke about her 800m race; she also opened up about it ahead of her second race of the season at the Czech Indoor Gala. Making her feelings known about the transition, she said:

"Of course, it's a huge change in training. I didn't know that it's this different because, of course, the endurance part is much, much higher. But I really love it. I fell really in love with the training and the process. And, of course, I know it's a long way to go. But I'm really happy to get every experience I get and hopefully can improve the next year."

Alica Schmidt concluded her 2024 season after competing at the Paris Olympics, where she competed in the women's 4x400m relay race and the mixed 4x400m relay dash. However, she and her team finished seventh in Heat 2 of both races, failing to qualify for the finals.
