Alica Schmidt, often called the 'world's sexiest athlete,' failed to qualify for the women's 4x400m relay final at the Paris 2024 Olympics, finishing seventh in her heat with a time of 3:26.95. The top four teams advanced, but Germany's performance was overshadowed by internal team drama, particularly surrounding the selection of Schmidt over Luna Bulmahn, Bredau's girlfriend. Bulmahn expressed her frustration on social media, which led to her removal from the relay team, despite Bredau later apologizing for his comments. Schmidt maintained that the selection was made by coaches and that she wanted to focus on performance, not personal disputes. The team faced stiff competition, with Jamaica winning the heat in 3:24.92. Schmidt's Olympic journey continues to be marred by controversy, as she reflects on her future training arrangements in Berlin after the Games.
