Over the years, the fans have started calling Alica Schmidt ?the world?s sexiest athlete?. Apart from her success as a runner, she has also received tremendous amounts of praise for her looks and stunning figure.

She took her fan?s excitement one notch higher after she posted a picture with him. The purpose of posting that picture was to ask her fans an important question. She tagged Neymar and asked her fans whether they should race each other. The fans went absolutely berserk after seeing Neymar in her story. However, the race between them hasn?t happened yet.

He [Neymar] shied a bit, but he really has a lot of appointments and who knows, maybe he’ll still do it after all?. The German runner has clearly still kept her hopes high in regard to racing with Neymar.
