Katarina Witt’s zest for sport brought two Olympic golds, now that passion is enriching the lives of youngsters with physical disabilities.
These legends made history, but their legacy lives on. Where are Olympic heroes now and how are they inspiring future generations?

🗞️ News from the Olympic world: oly.ch/News - Sport
I'll never forget that Katarina Witt was reported screaming at the television after the Sochi scandal of Yuna Kim's silver medal score. She really loves this sport and everyone in it. What a wonderful woman.
@Nacho Nacho In that case, she wasn't alone. Practically everybody who wasn't Russian wasn't happy with the win. And it's got nothing to do with Adelina's country, but her lack of artistry and clumsy jumps.
@@Kareragirl > Practically everybody who wasn't Russian wasn't happy with the win. Well, don't say so!
I mean, I'm russian and almost all my friends and ALL who I know say that Yuna Kim had to be an olympic champion, if you go to a russian sport sites you will see these messages like "lol, she didnt deserve a gold medal"
@@Kareragirl Yeah, she was sort of the Russian equivalent of Sarah Hughes.
Lmao most people were screaming in anger about Yuna Kim’s silver medal. Almost everyone knew she deserved the gold.
It's SOOO freaking scary that this was over 30 years ago and she's still the standard of what a champion IceSkater is. Absolute beauty to watch. Still gorgeous today.
I agree, she seems beautiful both inside and out.
Lies again? Interracial Couple Smart Bundesliga
She was beautiful back in the 80's at the Olympics and she's still beautiful and a beautiful skater.
True Beauty doesnt age, it ripes!
Her free skate to Carmen at 1988 Calgary will always have a special place in heart❤️ It was the first figure skating routine I had ever seen, and back then I had no idea what figure skating consisted, what were the jumps, or anything like that, but her performance just mesmerized me😍😍😍
She truly is a legend. Not only for her competitive achievements... but just her honest hard working and kind character. She’s loved by the Germans and you see her so often on tv for no other reason than that people just like to be around her. I remember how upset she was when Kim Yuna only placed second at Sochi. The tv host had to calm her down, otherwise she would’ve almost cussed on live television XD She’s the greatest!!!
@Bernadette Kacer literally spying WHAT underskirts of other skaters?? If boitano was pretending he was straight? I...
Bernadette Kacer that’s not true. She was actually the one that was observed. By the way, she was 19 years old when East Germany fell apart. A teenager and figure skater, not really a secret agent 🤦🏻♀️
Sie war natürlich linientreu und Aushängeschild der SED. Von ihr mehr zu erwarten als tolles Eiskunstlaufen ist und wäre Wunschdenken.
@Bernadette Kacer Thank you for saying this!
@@lb4585 She would report other skaters and athletes activities while they were abroad: who they talked to, if they went out, etc. In short in order to keep her place, she had to make sure those around her were true to the party!
She is still so beautiful. I love her. She was magnificent to watch. She captivated the world. Still a stunner. I still get chills watching her. It makes me sad to think that everything about her life hinged on one competition. I give her an eternal gold for class and hard work
How nicely put.
Yes I was hoping there would be subtitles
The Queen! ....there will never be another Katarina and this makes her unique and special.
Конечно, помним Катарину. Еще бы не помнить! Все мы восхищались ее мастерством!
Ich übersetze: Natürlich erinnern wir uns an Katarina! Und ob wir uns erinnern! Wir haben immer ihre Kunst bewundert!
There's no doubt in my mind that if she were to come up in any era of skating, she would be a champion. I think sometimes her beauty overshadows her skills and talent. She's probably one of greatest skaters ever
She was a combo; skills, talent, grace, beauty !
I lived in East Germany between 1978 and 1985, I never missed her skating on TV and I loved her.
kcmatarweh
Were you a guard working for the Soviet Union?
Such a legendary performer! She will always stand the test of time.
Она была и скорее всего останется самой лучшей одиночницей, самой лучшей фигуристкой !!! . Многие из СССР болели именно за нее, да она весь мир покорила !!!
Безмерно благодарен Катарине,но девочки из России троекратно превосходят по всем показателям !
@@kryima в том возрасте когда Витт брала золото ОИ наши девочки уже давно на пенсии, а кто продолжает выступать (Туктамышева) вряд ли смогли бы победить Витт даже с учетом что за 30 лет ФК ушло далеко вперед
She was the first skater that I ever watched, what an amazing presence on the ice, beautifully artistic.
Have to say she looks today like a woman who followed her destiny during every minute of her life.
Great to see, the world needs millions like her 🙏🇮🇪
She was my biggest crush back in the 80s, and she ages very well, just like fine wine!
I just love Katarina's free in 94 Olympics more than her Olympic gold performances. That was a moving epic.
Agree! Robin Hood!
I will always remember her excellence, expression, appearance on the ice. She is one of the greatest and made ice skating looke so easy and joyfull. ♥️
Crumbs, as if she wasn't already my all-time favourite female figure skater of all time; as if she didn't perform with grace, elegance, incredible musicality, theatricality and that wonderful smile.. she then goes on to be this amazing benefactor. I didn't think my admiration for her could grow any further. It has. As a fan of skating from the UK (where we haven't done too shabbily with champions!), she was everything on the ice.
Today's skaters may have different, more evolved skills, but Katarina's performances not only had skill, but were utterly beautiful and enchanting. And we have them on 'film' to look back on any time. That's something to be treasured.
She was always somewhat of a vixen. Despite her obvious beauty and her charm she definitely intimidated the other girls, not sure if she did it intentionally but that’s how sport is at the highest level, it’s always mental. Katarina’s very tough, she had an inate ability to always perform under pressure; whenever the others got tight or tense Katarina never did.
Величайшая фигуристка мира, она была непревзойденной, а сейчас легенда и делает благородные проекты для детей с ограниченными возможностями!!!
I saw her skate live, many times, at the World Championships…Hartford, in 1981, Copenhagen, in 1982, Helsinki, in 1983, Geneva, in 1986, Cincinnati, in 1987 and a couple of other World’s, that I can’t remember where they were. She was amazing. Even at practice sessions, she could skate to other skaters programs and make them look like they were made for her. She was lovely and gracious (at least, publicly), when she lost…I’m thinking it was when she lost World’s to Debi Thomas. I believe, it was in 86’. She said Debi was the better skater that day and deserved to win. Anyway, all of us who used to attend World’s every year loved her. Of course, we always rooted for the ladies from our own country to beat her. I’m on a roll, now, lol…anyone else remember the year Elaine Zayak beat her…1982, Copenhagen. It was the year that she jumped from 7th to first. No one thought it would be possible, but I think Katerina ended up 4th that year. Anyway, enough taxing my senior brain. In closing, she was a delight to watch.
When I think about skating, I directly have Katarina Witt in mind! I don't know why!!!!
Незабываемая Катарина Витт. Талантливая, артистичная. Спортсменка с большой буквы. Красавицей была и осталась!
Прекрасно.
До сих пор помню иия этой талантливой выдающейся фигуристки. Изза нее полюбила фигурное катание. Спасибо каналу!
There will never be a skater like Katerina. Beautiful in all ways. Stunning performance of Carmen never to be out done❣⛸
I remember this dance! It was wonderful!
Недруги называли Катарину красной козой. А в России ею восхищались, я помню её выступления, хоть и была тогда ещё подростком. Умница и красавица!
Катарина Витт- великая фигуристка !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐
Красавица, никогда не падала,классно каталась,мы всегда любовались и всегда вспоминаем ее катание
Gloria NORD
I am mesmerized by her beauty and competitive fire.
The work she does now is super important.
Such a great inspiration
Мы любили Катарину, она была «наша»! Мы чувствовали ее огонь на льду!!!
Amazing women! A true inspiration for the world. Plus a real artist on the ice!
She was one of the prettiest and greatest figure skaters ever.
Красавица!!! Талант и грация!!! ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏
Катарина-лучшая!!!!!👏👏👏👏Всегда любила смотреть,как чудесно выступала Катарина!!!!👏👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Katarina was my inspiration....after seeing her performance in Sarajevo, I was a very yang girl and I wanted to be a figure skater soooo bad!... I was bagging my parents to let me....but they didn’t....so I at least became Katarinas biggest fan.....she is not just legend, she is amazing human....
Thanks for posting this. Katarina Witt seems like a lovely person.
she was the first woman skater who has been allowed to war trousers on the ice at that moment in time ! i remember this very clear because i watched her every time when she competed
So beautiful :') I love her even more after she spoke the truth about the Sochi injustice and how Yuna deserved the gold, a legend recognize another legend ❤
K. Witt was unforgettable. Just love her skating and creativity. One of the greatest of all time. A true artist of figure skating 🌟💞🌟
Катарина не только великая фигуристка, но она ещё и красавица!....
Шикарная фигуристка, очень любила смотреть её прокаты, настоящая чемпионка фигурного катания!!!!
I love that she spoke in German❤️❤️❤️❤️forever will love Katerina Witt
Coming to watch Katarina after having my heart broken earlier today....
So beautifully passionate!!!
Always the mark of an artist!
Thanks!
My cousin was a member of the US National Figure Skating Team as a pairs ice dancer in the '50s.
She received an ice skating scholarship to the Colorado College in Colorado Springs where she trained at the Broadmoor Resort Skating Rink.
She was a bronze medalist at the US Nationals in ice dancing with Tim Brown in 1958.
She skated in the first televised Pro-Skating Competition by the ABC Wide-World Sports tv show series in 1959.
She was a petite blond "bombshell" of personality, my sister and I were dazzled by her.
She eventually went on to be the skating pro at the Shaker Heights Cleveland, Ohio Skate & Racket Country Club.
Cousin: Susan Sebo
I loved her skating and remember that beautiful smile throughout it. Wish I could have seen her live.
Gorgeous! Always loved watching her skate...so talented!
Katerina is such a beautiful name and she seems to be such a beautifully kind person. So nice to meet.
Талантливая спортсменка, красавица , трудяга. Люблю Катю. Море эмоций, огонь на льду.
Прекрасная ..самая лучшая в свое время фигуристка..очень любила и болела за неё..Здоровья и счастья вам..
Still my favorite among so many great skaters.
Katarina Vitt ..Oooh.. Yes! She is a legend. I was a child when I was watching ...beautiful skating and a very charming person . No memories at all about the girl they comparing her Carmen with
Kati, du bist und bleibst für immer in unseren Herzen. Eine Legende!
Just an absolute class act!!! Beautiful...graceful...GOLDEN!!
La migliore pattinatrice di sempre ❤️ Thank you so much, Katarina 🙏❤️ Die beste für immer und ewig ❤️
now i remember, Katarina made ice skating popular. mainly because she was ... just perfect :)
The lovely, lovely Katarina. The living legend, the greatest one through all times!!!!
I remember from the 80s, but completely forgot about her until now. Still a beautiful woman.
One day, I want to talk about something that brings that shine into my eyes, just like the shine Katharina has in her eyes when she talks about figure skating.
She's a very beautiful person inside and out. Congrats Katarina.
I remember being 15 years old in 1998 and asking some older guy to go into the local Waldenbooks and purchase the issue of Playboy that Katerina was in. I still have it.
Katarina Witt hat durch ihre Kunst, Eis zu laufen , den Sport in eine neue Ära geführt und gezeigt , das Eiskunstlauf aus weit mehr besteht als Dreifachsprünge ... Ihr zuzusehen ist träumen auf Schlittschuhen ... Grandiose Frau !
Katarina Witt war, ist und wird für mich immer die beste Eiskunstlauferin sein.
Sonja Henie auch.
Für mich auch
für mich auch. immer. "die königin von eis".
Прекрасная фигуристка и лучший тренер мира Ютта Мюллер, мама знаменитой Габи Зейферт, очень любили вас и помним пока живы
She is a legend
Помню в детстве смотрела её выступления. НРАВИЛАСЬ
And some wondered why I watched ice skating in my youth. SHE was the reason ;-)
truer words never spoken
She is remarkable, the best of the best...so graceful , beautiful!!

Страстная Кармен, прелестная Катарина, фигуристка-легенда! 🥰
Великая! Просто легенда!
В моей коллекции олимпийских марок, есть марки с Катариной Витт,Екатериной Гордеевой и Сергеем Гринько.Легенды!
Кармен Катарины Витт моё возрождение.... К жизни.... ❤️
Даже непрофессионалу видно, как чисто выполнены прыжки и другие элементы программы. Катарина Витт лучшая фигуристка!
I so remember Katarina! And those brave enough to perform and not be knocked down by arm chair commentators. Forever Brave!
Катарина Витт была любимицей!Мы болели за нее.В то время она лучшая!Мама ее хорошо научила.
she was the best by far........
She was beautiful! I so remember it
Danke für die schöne Zeit damals. Ich war Kind und total begeistert von dir .
Весь СССР за неё болел ,как за свою спортсменку. В США и Британии никогда и никто тогда так искренно не болел за спортсменов из Западной Германии .
Keiner Versteht was er likt 😂
Endy Takker meinte,daß alle damals für Katarina Witt gefiebert hatten-wie für keine andere!..
Findus lernt Russisch
Точнее мужики)))
Энди Таккер Это спортсменка из Восточной Германии,лучшая в то время фигуристка.
А ее тренер Ютта Мюллер-одна из легенд тренерского цеха.
Прекрасно,что у неё все о.к.
В жизни все есть.
1:30 "she was stunning and she was gorgeous"... ma'am, YOU are stunning and gorgeous!
Смотрю в 2022 году, какая сила воли у Катарин. Какие сильные конкуренты. А она смогла стать первой. Браво, браво. Ты легенда!!!!
Молодец!!! Катарина... Умница, красавица тадантище 👍❤️✊🌺
Красавица! Талантливая, женственная, красивая фигуристка!
After the Berlin wall came down Katarina moved to the U.S. I recall watching a program about her afterwards with her speaking in English. I don't know where she is today but I recall watching her during the Olympics where she performed "Carmen." The general "scuttlebut" then was that Debbie Thomas was more athletic and had a more difficult routine than Katarina but she didn't stay on her feet. Katarina's routine, comparatively, was easier, especially the 20 seconds of posing but she performed it better.
Every time she skated I watched her...thought Katarina was so Beautiful! she seemed to have such great Wit too!
I love her artistry.
Katarina is so giving and such a phenomenal skater. ⛸🇺🇸 ⛸
I wish i was good at somthing
Being good takes a LOT of work. ;)
You are!!!
Not everyone has a talent to capture the world.
I use to say the same thing, once I grew older I realised, just being a kind hearted, loving person is a talent these days, that not all of us have... being the best person you can be is more important than any talent.
Now go out there and share your talent! 😃
Same
Don´t wish to be good at something. Work to be good at something.
Every person has a talent, you just have to find it. Don´t be passive! You will never achive anything if you don´t work for it no matter how talanted you are.
i cant think of a name My dear who ever wrote this being a good person in life and good to others is a great start.
If you desire something else aside from what your job is or if you're still young in school study.
Education and practice at anything takes time.
Trust me life unfolds beautifully if you go the straight arrow.
I've been a huge fan of hers since I was a teen watching her in the 1994 Olympics. Even my brothers liked her, since she was playing Robin Hood, lol. It was a long time, though, until I knew what she had to go through in East Germany, as she describes here. And oddly enough, this is the first time I've heard her speak German, and not English.
Самая красивая, стильная фигуристка одиночница. Будет тысяча прыгающих малолеток, я и фамилий их не помню, а Катарина Витт - единственная. Не надо прыжков в четыре оборота, надо представление на льду, на которое хочешь смотреть. И помнишь эти выступления.
A rare figure skater! I do not know if there was one more like her
Quel plaisir de retrouver Katarina Witt par le biais de ce reportage. Fervente admiratrice depuis toujours, je ne me lasserai jamais de la voir évoluer sur la glace. J'aimerais tellement trouvé un DVD avec tous ses programmes depuis ses débuts. Je regarde "Carmen" régulièrement et ai toujours et encore la chair de poule. Merci Katarina.
Ich habe mich sehr gefreut, diese Reportage über Katarina zu sehen. Seit Jahren bewundere ich sie und schaue ihre Programme nach wie vor sehr gern an. Ich bereue nur, dass ich keine DVD finde, die all ihre Programme seit Anfang zeigt. "Carmen" schaue ich immer noch und bekomme jedes Mal wieder Gänsehaut. Danke Katarina.
German is an underrated beautiful language.
Tigerkem i'm from Germany but if you are not a native speaker it's hard to learn the language especially the grammar 😄
Tigerkem Yes it is ...but She is a He....greetings from Germany
Soll das so lustig sein, Herr Lustich, dass es sich zu wiederholen lohnt?
Tigerkem Genderbender😗
@anonymusum Entschuldigen Sie bitte. Der Peter ist aus meinem Keller geflüchtet. Ich sammel Ihn wieder ein und sorge dafür, dass er nicht mehr an die Öffentlichkeit kommt.
Моя любимая фигуристка, очень красивая, успешная, талантливая!!!!!
Блестящая фигуристка. Легенда. Ей нет равных.
И как долго раньше катались и держались на льду.
Сейчас "выстрелит" звёздочка и бац - пропала....
Ещё и Ютта Мюллер!
Легенда фигурного катания... Прекрасная, талантливая, заводная... Ее титулы никому в ближайшем будущем не повторить.... Так как стать двухкратной олимпийской и Х мира и Европы при нынешних условиях, требованиях просто невозможно...В нынешнее время чемпионки будут меняться чуть ли не каждый год...А об олимпиадах и речи не может быть...
Замечательная фигуристка! Катарина вместе с тренером внесли столько нового в женское фигурное катание!!!
Как и пажде красива. Умница.
Ich übersetze: schön wie auch früher.Eine Kluge!
A wonderful skater and performer and so beautiful!
I had a crush on her for years, I loved her.
**BEAUTY** Wins My Heart = ALWAYS
