Schmid was selected to represent Hungary in the Women's C1 Event at the 2020 Summer Olympics after Hungary earned the quota place on reallocation, which would've marked Hungary's Olympic canoe slalom debut.[2] She withdrew on 19 July 2021 following the Hungarian Olympic Committee's decision to only send athletes vaccinated against COVID-19 to the Games.[3]
