Is Alica Schmidt in heaven? Not quite, but the Olympic track and field star appeared to be on cloud nine in her pictures from the St. Regis resort in Maldives.

Schmidt, 25, posted a magical series of photos of herself on a hammock suspended over a crystal-clear ocean. The German runner, who has been dubbed the “world’s sexiest athlete” by many and has over 5 million followers on Instagram alone, looked totally blissed out with a novel (Archer’s Voice by Mia Sheridan, in case you’re curious), a bikini, and a fluffy white comforter.
