Alica Schmidt posed in a winter snowsuit as she shared glimpses from her trip to the French Alps. Notably, she took part in several photo and video shoots as part of a campaign for Biotherm during her visit.

So far, in 2024, Schmidt has traveled to various destinations, including the Bahamas, Italy, the Maldives, France, and South Africa for both training and vacation purposes. In the French Alps, she posed in a snowsuit by HUGO Boss, her sponsor.

In addition, she had earlier shared more glimpses from her visit to French Alps as she captioned it:

“From training in South Africa straight into having an ice bath in the French Alps. #winterwonderland #icebath”

It is worth noting that Alica Schmidt traveled to the French Alps after completing her first training camp of the season in South Africa. Although she next visited the Alps for a shoot, she also mentioned that she would be returning to South Africa again for her training via an Instagram post.

For the 2025 season, Schmidt has announced that she will be focusing on the 800m, besides also running her main event, the 400m.

Alica Schmidt opened up about how there are people who would always judge, adding how it is connected to the sport. In an interview with Olympics.com in 2022, she reflected on public judgment while also expressing gratitude to her followers, saying:

“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.”

However, she expressed confidence in her abilities, adding:

“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. And I know that I work so hard for that, I know what I'm capable of and that I haven't showed everything yet.”

Some of Schmidt's notable accomplishments have been finishing seventh in mixed relay at the 2023 World Athletics Championships and fifth in the 4x400m relay at the 2022 European Championships.
