The German track and field star, who has been dubbed the “world’s sexiest athlete” by publications over the years, gave her legions of social media followers an intimate look at her experience so far at the Paris Games.

In one video shared Thursday on TikTok, the 25-year-old Schmidt — who is competing in Friday’s mixed 4×400-meter relay — can be seen arriving in the City of Lights with fellow German athletes before checking out her digs at the Olympic Village.

“In just one month, I will be in Paris, creating memories that will last a lifetime. This thought has been my motivation every single day for several years now, reminding me of why it is important to never give up on my goals and to put in the work,” the athlete and social media sensation posted on Instagram at the time.

“No matter how big your dreams are, if you stay committed and believe in yourself, good things will come your way.”

Schmidt previously traveled to the Tokyo Games in 2021 but did not compete.

Hours before Friday’s event, Schmidt reflected on her journey leading up to this moment.

“Today’s the day❤️‍🔥 I’m running the Mixed Relay tonight at 19.22,” she wrote Friday on Instagram.

“Little me would be so proud.”

In the post, Schmidt wears her Olympic uniform before the video pans to a childhood photo, where she is seen wearing a gold medal.

“Good luck in the race, give it your all, we are with you!” one Instagram user exclaimed.

Another expressed, “Little you IS so proud.”
