ALICA SCHMIDT is feeling more love on social media than ever as the “world’s sexiest athlete” proved abs sense makes the heart grow fonder.
The German sprinter showed off her six-pack and starred on the cover of Women’s Health following a training camp.
Alica, 24, now has 3.7million Instagram followers as she targets next year’s Paris Olympics.
She has always been a mover – specialising in the 400metres – and is now a shaker too after being named in the Forbes 30 under 30 list for influential young people.
The part-time model was tearful when she heard of that honour.
And she’ll be even more emotional if her Paris 2024 dream comes true.

Posting shots of her magazine cover on her Instagram story, she wrote: “I had such a great training camp and I’m really happy with my progress over the last weeks.”
Alica trained in South Africa and Miami for the new outdoor season.
And after sharing crop-top shots from a running track last week, she hinted at her Paris goal with some philosophical words.
Quoting “business growth motivator” Fabienne Fredrickson, she posted: “The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit.”
But if Alica succeeds she’ll go bananas – just the way her followers react to her revealing social media snaps.
