The "World's Sexiest Athlete" shared the news with her followers on Instagram as well as TikTok , writing that her "biggest dream came true."

Schmidt shared a picture of her with the Olympic rings behind her on Instagram , excitedly announcing: "I’m going to the Olympics!"

"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," she wrote on social media.

"No matter how big your dreams are, if you stay committed and believe in yourself, good things will come your way," she added in her inspiring message.
