Alica Schmidt opened up about her first national appearance in the 800m event

After making her appearance in the 800m event at the German National Games, Alica Schmidt opened up about her performance in the event. She shared a video on her YouTube channel where she revealed that she started the race on a good note; however, she couldn't maintain her momentum during the final part of the race and thus ended up in fourth place.

Opening up about the experience, she said that she could have done better and acknowledged that she was a bit annoyed.

"It was a bit hectic because the relay was just after the 800. I have to say I'm a bit annoyed about the race. It was of course, totally different from what I would have expected or wanted the race to be. I'm just happy that I made it out healthy and I didn't get injured in the race. I have like a swollen knee, and it hurts a bit, but it shouldn't be something," said Alica Schmidt.

She added:

"I knew that the 800m is a bumpy race, but this race and I watched it again. Yeah, I should have maybe made some better decisions. It was my fourth race over the 800, so, of course, I just have to gain experience."

Outside of her track endeavors, Alica Schmidt is also pursuing a career in modeling.
