SPRINTER Lieke Klaver’s steamy snaps are breaking TikTok.
Klaver is seen as a rival to Alica Schmidt’s throne as one of the world’s sexiest athletes.

The Dutch track and field star did not win a medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, but she received a lot of online support.
Klaver represented the Netherlands in the mixed and women’s relay races.
Even though she does not have her own TikTok account, she frequently trends on the social media platform.
TikTok users have been hashtagging her name in posts because they admire her appearance and frequently joke that they will relocate to Holland.
And that fan base has spread to her Instagram account, where she now has nearly 700,000 followers.
She began running at the age of nine and has twice been an Olympic finalist.
Klaver won gold in the 4x400m relay at the European Indoor Championships in 2021 and 2023.
In 2022, she won gold in the same event at the European Championships.
The 24-year-old is more than just her track performances, as she studied at the HAN University of Applied Sciences.
But she doesn’t let it interfere with her training, which she does nine times a week with a rest day on Sunday.
Klaver had previously admitted that she had “no interest in athletics” until her mother convinced her to “give it a try”.
She added: “I really wanted to dance but my mother thought, ‘You are always running with your brother so you two can take up athletics?’
“At first, I was focused on the 100m and 200m events, but due to my height, my coach said to try the 400m.”
Her Instagram account is filled with snaps of her in races and training.
But when she is away from the track, she enjoys time with her friends and taking holidays.
