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.

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.

She was beautiful back in the 80's at the Olympics and she's still beautiful and a beautiful skater.

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

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!!!

The Queen! ....there will never be another Katarina and this makes her unique and special.

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😍😍😍

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

Она была и скорее всего останется самой лучшей одиночницей, самой лучшей фигуристкой !!! . Многие из СССР болели именно за нее, да она весь мир покорила !!!

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.

Конечно, помним Катарину. Еще бы не помнить! Все мы восхищались ее мастерством!

Величайшая фигуристка мира, она была непревзойденной, а сейчас легенда и делает благородные проекты для детей с ограниченными возможностями!!!

She was my biggest crush back in the 80s, and she ages very well, just like fine wine!

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. ♥️

Such a legendary performer! She will always stand the test of time.

I lived in East Germany between 1978 and 1985, I never missed her skating on TV and I loved her.

Незабываемая Катарина Витт. Талантливая, артистичная. Спортсменка с большой буквы. Красавицей была и осталась!

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 🙏🇮🇪

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.

There will never be a skater like Katerina. Beautiful in all ways. Stunning performance of Carmen never to be out done❣⛸

Amazing women! A true inspiration for the world. Plus a real artist on the ice!

Недруги называли Катарину красной козой. А в России ею восхищались, я помню её выступления, хоть и была тогда ещё подростком. Умница и красавица!

До сих пор помню иия этой талантливой выдающейся фигуристки. Изза нее полюбила фигурное катание. Спасибо каналу!

I just love Katarina's free in 94 Olympics more than her Olympic gold performances. That was a moving epic.

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.

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

Katerina is such a beautiful name and she seems to be such a beautifully kind person. So nice to meet.

Красавица!!! Талант и грация!!! ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏

I remember this dance! It was wonderful!

When I think about skating, I directly have Katarina Witt in mind! I don't know why!!!!

Thanks for posting this. Katarina Witt seems like a lovely person.

She was one of the prettiest and greatest figure skaters ever.

K. Witt was unforgettable. Just love her skating and creativity. One of the greatest of all time. A true artist of figure skating 🌟💞🌟

Красавица, никогда не падала,классно каталась,мы всегда любовались и всегда вспоминаем ее катание

I am mesmerized by her beauty and competitive fire. The work she does now is super important. Such a great inspiration

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 ❤

Катарина-лучшая!!!!!👏👏👏👏Всегда любила смотреть,как чудесно выступала Катарина!!!!👏👏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I wish i was good at somthing

Gorgeous! Always loved watching her skate...so talented!

Катарина не только великая фигуристка, но она ещё и красавица!....

I love that she spoke in German❤️❤️❤️❤️forever will love Katerina Witt

Мы любили Катарину, она была «наша»! Мы чувствовали ее огонь на льду!!!

Катарина Витт- великая фигуристка !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐

Still my favorite among so many great skaters.

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.

Шикарная фигуристка, очень любила смотреть её прокаты, настоящая чемпионка фигурного катания!!!!

I loved her skating and remember that beautiful smile throughout it. Wish I could have seen her live.

The lovely, lovely Katarina. The living legend, the greatest one through all times!!!!

Katarina Witt war, ist und wird für mich immer die beste Eiskunstlauferin sein.

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....

La migliore pattinatrice di sempre ❤️ Thank you so much, Katarina 🙏❤️ Die beste für immer und ewig ❤️

Талантливая спортсменка, красавица , трудяга. Люблю Катю. Море эмоций, огонь на льду.

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

Kati, du bist und bleibst für immer in unseren Herzen. Eine Legende!

Just an absolute class act!!! Beautiful...graceful...GOLDEN!!

Прекрасная ..самая лучшая в свое время фигуристка..очень любила и болела за неё..Здоровья и счастья вам..

Прекрасная фигуристка и лучший тренер мира Ютта Мюллер, мама знаменитой Габи Зейферт, очень любили вас и помним пока живы

She's a very beautiful person inside and out. Congrats Katarina.

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 .

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.

Coming to watch Katarina after having my heart broken earlier today....

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 !

Her performance as Carmen is just amazing. Now at the olympics there is no artistic freedom, everyone looks the same, wears the same costumes, has the same boring music... it's only about the athletic part, not the show part, sadly.

She is a legend

I remember from the 80s, but completely forgot about her until now. Still a beautiful woman.

Да, Катарина Витт - это легенда. В 80-е она была непревзойденной фигуристкой! Ее катание смотреть было огромным удовольствием. Желаю ей всего доброго! И да, ГДР не была серой и унылой. Может быть страна не была столь ярка, как капстраны, зато у народа были работа, бесплатная медицина и образование; и не было публичных домов и секспросвета в школах и детсадах.

Помню в детстве смотрела её выступления. НРАВИЛАСЬ

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.

Смотрю в 2022 году, какая сила воли у Катарин. Какие сильные конкуренты. А она смогла стать первой. Браво, браво. Ты легенда!!!!

Даже непрофессионалу видно, как чисто выполнены прыжки и другие элементы программы. Катарина Витт лучшая фигуристка!

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...

Великая! Просто легенда!

Катарина Витт была любимицей!Мы болели за нее.В то время она лучшая!Мама ее хорошо научила.

she was the best by far........

Страстная Кармен, прелестная Катарина, фигуристка-легенда! 🥰

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.

now i remember, Katarina made ice skating popular. mainly because she was ... just perfect :)

Кармен Катарины Витт моё возрождение.... К жизни.... ❤️

German is an underrated beautiful language.

She is remarkable, the best of the best...so graceful , beautiful!! 1111

Блестящая фигуристка. Легенда. Ей нет равных. И как долго раньше катались и держались на льду. Сейчас "выстрелит" звёздочка и бац - пропала....

She was beautiful! I so remember it

В моей коллекции олимпийских марок, есть марки с Катариной Витт,Екатериной Гордеевой и Сергеем Гринько.Легенды!

Красавица! Талантливая, женственная, красивая фигуристка!

Danke für die schöne Zeit damals. Ich war Kind und total begeistert von dir .

I so remember Katarina! And those brave enough to perform and not be knocked down by arm chair commentators. Forever Brave!

Легенда! Только авторы много грязи льют на ГДР. Катарина - великая спортсменка своей великой страны!

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.

Молодец!!! Катарина... Умница, красавица тадантище 👍❤️✊🌺

And some wondered why I watched ice skating in my youth. SHE was the reason ;-)

best ever - no doubt about it. Pure style and glamour and fire on ice. The most beautiful face of communism, they called her, and she probably was because she also had a talent that was most beautiful. So much so I used to get out of bed in the middle of the night to watch her dance and perform her magic. And this butterfly had also an iron killer instinct. Nobody better then Witt when she was behind in the scores!

Katarina is so giving and such a phenomenal skater. ⛸🇺🇸 ⛸

Прекрасная Катарина! Весь мир рукоплескал тебе! :)

Every time she skated I watched her...thought Katarina was so Beautiful! she seemed to have such great Wit too!

Умница и красавица. Посмотрела выступления Баюл, Керриган, Хартинг. Все проигрывают своими истериками на льду и не спортивным поведением.

1:30 "she was stunning and she was gorgeous"... ma'am, YOU are stunning and gorgeous!

A wonderful skater and performer and so beautiful!

Моя любимая фигуристка, очень красивая, успешная, талантливая!!!!!

A rare figure skater! I do not know if there was one more like her

I love her artistry.
