The women dubbed the 'world's sexiest athlete' called out Manchester City star Erling Haaland to a race.

Alica Schmidt, competed for Germany at the ongoing World Championships in Budapest and reckons she can beat the explosive striker in her preferred 400 metres event - despite admitting she would struggle over 200m.

She recently set a personal best over 400m of 52.18 seconds, averaging around 17mph.

Haaland though has previously been record at speeds of up to 22.5mph - albeit he runs in shorter bursts than Schmidt.
