Katarina Witt

  German former figure skater Katarina Witt was born on 3/12/1965. Twice a Olympic winner, Witt is regarded as one of the best female singles figure skaters all time. Her Laureus profile says "she is most remembered for her overall athleticism as well as her charismatic charm and her glamorous image on the ice."



 



 Witt has won her first Olympic gold medal for East Germany at 1984 Sarajevo Olympics. Another gold medal was taken home at the 1988 Calgary Olympics. She is among only two women to have won a singles Olympic women's title. The other being Sonja Henie of Norway. Witt is a four-time World Champion (1984, 1985 1987, 1988, 1984) and twice she was a World silver medallist (1982 and 1986). Six consecutive European Championships (1983-1988) were won by Witt, an accomplishment that can only be equaled by Sonja Henie, a female figure skater. Between 1984 and 1988, Witt won ten golds from eleven major international competitions, making her one of the most successful figure skaters.
