‘WORLD’S SEXIEST ATHLETE’ Alica Schmidt has landed a job as a Milan Fashion Week model.
The German 400m runner will walk for Hugo Boss having shot to stardom at the Tokyo Olympics.
Schmidt, 22, qualified for Germany’s 4x400m relay squad for this summer’s Games.
But she was restricted to supporting from the sidelines after failing to qualify for the final team.
However, fans still noticed Schmidt and having picked up the label: “World’s sexiest athlete.”
Schmidt has a prominent social media platform with 2.4million Instagram followers.
She also has an impressive TikTok following but used Insta to reveal the news about her break in fashion.
Alongside pictures of herself, she posted on Tuesday: “I’m in a really good mood and I’m really excited because I’m flying to Milan today!

“It will definitely be very, very cool days in Milan.
“The ‘Hugo Boss Fashion Show’ will be on Thursday and I’ll be a part of it!”
Schmidt received offers to model for Playboy after shooting to prominence this summer.
She turned down their advances and said: “This is definitely not an option for me. Here I like to let others take precedence.”
But Schmidt is looking forward to her first foray into Milan Fashion Week.
This time last year, Schmidt trained the Borussia Dortmund team leading Manchester United fans to joke: “Jadon Sancho will never leave Germany.”
Sponsored by Puma like the Dortmund side, Schmidt was invited to the club’s training complex where she gave the stars a workout of her own.

She performed a series of lunges and stretches alongside Thomas Meunier, Felix Passlack as well as Swiss international Manuel Akanji.
Schmidt then gave then-31-year-old Mats Hummels a 400m race where she left the centre-back for dead.
Out of breath and sprawled across the floor, Hummels said: “I really underestimated that.”
