Alfred Schmidt was a successful Estonian featherweight weightlifter who began his weightlifting career in 1919 during his time in the Estonian Army. He achieved a silver medal at the 1920 Summer Olympics and secured a national title in 1922. Although he faced disqualification at the 1922 World Championships due to exceeding the weight limit, Schmidt remained involved in weightlifting and wrestling events as an official and referee. He later shifted his focus to trap shooting and rose to prominence, ultimately taking the lead in the Estonian Trap Shooting Federation.
