However, in 2025, she revealed that she was changing things up a little bit.Schmidt announced that she would be focusing on the 800m distance for her 2025 season. The runner got her year off to a strong start, competing at the German Indoor Nationals where she won gold in the 4x200m relay and narrowly missed out on a podium in the 800m event.Unfortunately, Schmidt wasn't able to maintain this level of performance through her outdoor season. Reflecting on a difficult 2025 season, the Olympian wrote on Instagram,“This season really put me to the test this year. Tough races, lots of lessons, and a whole lot of growth. It wasn't the season I was hoping for, but it was definitely the one I needed. Unfortunately I caught Covid a few days before Nationals, so I wasn't able to show up at my best, definitely frustrating. This year is about committing, learning, challenging and accepting. Everything I need to learn on how to tackle the 800m. Hoping to get my body 100% healthy again and squeeze in a few more races before shifting focus to 2026. Still completely in love with the process.” View this post on Instagram Instagram PostAlica Schmidt failed to qualify for the 2025 World Championships.
