In Pictures: Alica Schmidt shares adorable 'eating' glimpses from childhood amid holiday season

German runner Alica Schmidt recently gave fans a sneak peek into her childhood, sharing a series of holiday pictures on social media. The athlete is currently gearing up to compete in the 2025 season.

Schmidt did not have a successful run in 2024, failing to qualify for the finals of any event at the Paris Olympics. She first competed in the women's 4x100m relay, where her team earned a seventh-place finish in Heat 2, leading to their disqualification from the finals. Following this, she competed in the mixed 4x100m relay dash, where the team ended up seventh on Heat 2 again.

Schmidt is now training for the 2025 track season and has also been sharing glimpses of her workout on social media. She also gave fans an insight into her childhood days, sharing pictures from past holidays on her Instagram stories. Here's how the first story went:

Alica Schmidt recently announced changing her event in the upcoming 2025 track season. She took to her Instagram to tell fans he's shifting focus from the 400m dash to the 800m dash. Along with this, she also reflected on her 2024 campaign with photos from the year.

"It’s been quite a year. It was filled with so many highlights and I made some memories that will last forever: from the world relays in the Bahamas, where we qualified the mixed relay for the Olympics to the European championships in Rome, where we qualified the women’s 4x400m for Paris to the German nationals and of course: THE OLYMPICS," Alica Schmidt wrote.

She added:

"After Paris I tried something new and ran a 800m & 600m and really enjoyed pushing out of my comfort zone. Back in 2022, I decided that I wanted to give the 800m a shot after the Paris Olympics, so now it means… I’m going for it next year. I‘m on my way to my first high altitude training camp where I’ll join an international 800m group to train alongside great athletes where I can learn a lot."

Alica Schmidt's personal best in the 800m is 2:05.22.
