THE world’s “sexiest athlete” Alica Schmidt has moved into TV after taking a break from her track career.
German runner Schmidt, 23, took part in the popular quiz show “Who knows something like that?”.
Schmidt, who is widely popular for her jaw-dropping good looks and athletic ability, also showed that she is incredibly clever.
And the world will get to see Schmidt’s broadcast on June 7.
Schmidt is taking a break from her track career after being snubbed for the Tokyo Olympic Games.
She missed out on Germany’s final women’s 4x400m relay team.
