A few days ahead, the athlete gave a sneak peek of her first few training sessions in South Africa and opened up about the struggles she was facing due to the high altitude. While sharing a video of her training, she wrote:

After concluding her 2024 season at the Paris Olympics, Alica Schmidt announced that she will be transitioning from the 400m dash to the 800m events. Following this, she made her first appearance in her 800m event at the National Games, where she earned a fourth-place finish after clocking 2:09.90s.

Along with this, she also competed in the 4x200m relay, where she and her team bagged a silver medal. Shortly after these performances, she opened up about her race on her Instagram handle. She shared a video from the event and wrote a note in the caption, reflecting on her race. The 26-year-old said that her race did not go as planned and was a tough one for her.

"First 800m at nationals are in the books! It didn’t go as planned, and the final was a very tough race for me. Overall I became 4th and I’m not satisfied with that but it‘s just the beginning. I knew before my indoor season that my first races wouldn’t be easy and there’s a lot to learn especially tactically. Still, racing the 800m now already was the best decision to improve for the summer!" Alica Schmidt wrote.

She added:

"But I‘m happy to take away silver with the girls over the 4x200m relay ❤️‍🔥 always the best to race with your team 🙋🏼‍♀️"

Alica Schmidt is expected to make her return on the track in the summer for the outdoor season after training rigorously to hone her skills.
