In an important Revelation which… shows a lot about the conditions under which most track and field athletes compete, she said Alyssa Schmidt.
The impressive German sprinter, who was voted the most “sexy athlete of the world” in 2019 from an Australian magazine, she already has many distinctions in her country, but also on a global level, having even reached the Olympic Games.
However, the 24-year-old 400m champion revealed via TikTok that her involvement in athletics brings her almost nothing financially, stressing that how her livelihood is now based on social media!
“I must say that it is not easy for most German track and field athletes to make a living from sports. If we are in the national team we only receive 700 euros a month, an amount that is not enough to live on. We often pay out of pocket because we have travel and hotel expenses that aren’t always covered. I’m grateful that I’m making money with social media and can save another part-time job”Schmidt said.
