Katarina Witt Biography
Katarina Witt is recognized as one of the most accomplished figure skaters in the sport's history. The East German athlete achieved four World Championships and two Olympic gold medals, becoming one of only two skaters to defend a ladies' singles Olympic title, alongside Norwegian Sonja Henie. Witt's technical skill and showmanship contributed to her dominance in international figure skating, earning her multiple titles and widespread recognition.
Witt's competitive achievements include two Olympic victories, four World Championships, six European Championships, and eight national titles. At the Winter Olympics in Calgary, she performed her "Carmen" routine to secure gold, a feat previously accomplished only by Henie. Her free program to the music "Sag mir wo die Blumen sind," an arrangement of Pete Seeger's "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," was noted for its artistic impression and peace message. Witt was inducted into the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame.
Following her amateur career, Witt transitioned to professional figure skating, co-headlining tours in the United States and Canada with World Champion and Olympic Champion Brian Boitano. Their show, "Witt and Boitano Skating," achieved significant commercial success, including a sold-out performance at Madison Square Garden. Witt also served as a CBS television commentator for figure skating and returned to Olympic competition when professional skaters were admitted. She expanded her career into acting, starring in the film "Carmen on Ice," which built upon her Olympic routine and earned her an Emmy Award. Witt also appeared in the movie "Jerry Maguire."
Witt has worked in various fields including figure skating, producing, presenting, acting, and writing. She founded the production company WITH WITT Sports & Entertainment GmbH, producing ice shows for television in the United States and Germany. Her autobiography, "Only with Passion," details her experiences as a young athlete. Witt is also active as a motivational speaker and co-founded BUSINESS MEETS SPORT to encourage support for regional sports and athletes among small and medium-sized enterprises.
In addition to her professional pursuits, Witt established the Katarina Witt Foundation to support children with physical disabilities through medical care and prosthetic limbs. She is a founding member of Laureus Sport for Good, an initiative supporting children in crisis areas through sport and social integration, and remains active in the Laureus World Sports Academy, promoting the positive impact of sport globally.
