Katarina Witt SP 1988 World Championships 

Ein Jahrhunderttalent. Die geht in die Geschichte ein. Sie hat allen gezeigt, wie Eislaufen geht. Nur Sport ist langweilig, aber Sport, Schauspiel auf dem Eis, ein Lächeln im Gesicht und echte Gefühle, das ist es, was Eiskunstlauf so schön macht. Und dann noch diese bildhübsche Frau noch dazu. Diese Kombi macht ihre Einmaligkeit aus und natürlich dieses sorglose Sportlerleben in der DDR, mit der besten Trainerin aller Zeiten. Da kommt keine andere mit. Klasse Kati. Du bist die Beste. ❤️💖

Sie ist ein absoluter Schatz, ein Stern am Eislaufhimmel. Kati wird immer einmalig bleiben. Das ist Eiskunstlauf. Das macht Spaß, zuzuschauen. Danke liebe Kati, für alles, was Du uns und unserem Land gegeben hast. Wir vergessen Dich niemals. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏

От её катания мурашки по коже! Яркая, раскованная, широкая и невероятно свободная! Настоящая актриса! И, конечно, изумительная красавица!

This girl was always so perfect...Americans loved her! God Bless!

Даааа!!!! Она была лучшая!!!!!! Королева льда!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👸🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Ich liebe Katarina. I waited on her when she came to Boston in 1994 to perform in an ice show prior to the 1994 Olympics. She ordered a club sandwich in her room and I delivered it with a special cookie platter wishing her a "dreite geld" metal (which I knew she wouldn't win). She was so classy and gracious, granting not only me but a co-worker an autograph. She loves her fans and her fans love her.

Настоящее женское!! катание! Красиво, женственно, наслаждаешься просмотром.Катарина непревзойдёная.

Легенда Фигурного Катания ЛЮБИМИЦА БОЛЕЛЬЩИКОВ ВСЕГО МИРА!

She's amazing and fun to watch. She makes it look easy, of course its not.

Wow, old grudges really die hard in these comments on old competition. 😆Love being able to see all these on YT. Thanks for uploading! Stay blessed everyone who sees this. 🙏🏻💙

I love these commentators! I could watch Kati along with these gorgeous commentators over and over again! What an era of ice skating!

Браво ,Катарина! Умница! Это настоящее Женское катание ( 23 года!) не нынешние подростки, которым в юниорах катать , по совести если.

I love watching her. She always seems to be enjoying herself.

23 года!!!! Нынче в 17 уже выдыхаются.Вот и Алиночка сошла с дистанции.Тухтамышева молодцом . Катарина ушла непобежденной!!!!!!!

Она на все времена лучшая!

Katarina...executed the Easiest Triple Jump Combination in the Short Program of ALL of her closest fellow Competitors. The Judges...made it easy for her.

Потрясающий артистизм!

Sie anzuschauen.....immer top.....tolle Frau....nachwievor....

I loved this SP the first time I saw it. It was definitely my favorite along with Debi Thomas's funky number.

Absolutely brilliant⛸⛸♥️♥️

Единство формы и содержания !

Just great! Katarina was always the greatest

she make this performance amazing. who cares what kind of costume she had? ok, it could have been better, but it's not truly important. fact is, she was a living legend already. those many skills, she have, especially artistic, make her that who she truly is. a multiple champion. the best. without competitors. she was, is and will stay the best. i haven't seen a better one yet. ( maybe more technical, thanks to rule change, but not artistic way. ) not even today.

Immer noch Gänsehaut

Красотка! Дива!

I usually find Witt's programs to be melodramatic and overrated artistically, but I have to say this one is really well done. You can't help but get pulled into her joy, particularly the last step sequence... It was beautiful.

Pure Magie ...

Браво!

SUPER

La piu piu grande pattinatrice del mondo!!!!

Will do it later on this week! :-)

Lovely golden memories fans

Как сейчас поживает Ютта Мюллер. Великий тренер великих фигуристок.

Она растворялась в музыке, складывается ощущение что не заученная программа, а живая импровизация под музыку, будто выехала и танцует под музыку произвольные па. Такое только у Удзуру Ханю )

Так как катаеться Катарина сейчас катаються пятилетние девочки да в свое время было круто .

She may have the easiest jumps but she attacks it amazingly with speed and height like what Yuna kim does nowadays.

This is the performance that the ISU enacted "The Katarina Rule". Women's hips, midriffs, and butts must be covered. Costumes may not be theatrical in appearance. In 1994, Witt's SP costume was also controversial. Her extended tunic top acted as a skirt and partially covered her hips.

Звезда!

It occurs to me that coming second here was probably the reason why Katarina skated a poor LP. Despite this excellent performance the judges made a statement to Katarina that she was not going to win automatically on the artistic impression marks. This put pressure on her to do the triple loop which she had omitted in Calgary. As it was she completely messed up her attempt (almost falling on a double) which then seemed to affect her concentration on the final triple salchow (doubled). The championship really was there for the taking by Thomas who sadly just wasn’t up to it.

Ho qualcosa in comune con la meravigliosa KAT.... siamo entrambe alte 1 metro e 65 cm.... Beh.. Meglio che niente!!!!!!!! 😁👍❤️LA ADORO😀👍💐...

Gee the commentator during the first minute very much had Katarina in the psychiatrist's chair..

当時ハマったなぁー😌✨ 今見ると結構体硬いし、ステップが単純な上にその場でのステップ多様（前進しましょうよ）でビミョーな箇所もちらほら。 時代だなぁ。

Can somebody tell me where can I find this exact version of the music in background???

I'm ALAMATER at eleven years old royal Soprano Cynthia Corcoran.

Debi Thomas did.

No wonder she caught Richard Dean Anderson's (Macyver) eye

I love her leotard.

Wow- still now: Wow! What a Lady!......Nowadays jump children on the ice.....high talanted, but squeezed like the citrons by coaches who are overambitious and cold and have no feeling at all for a good programm. .Katharina, so it was- and so it is! The Americans, what great, honest and encouraged spectators! I bow my head! In that time it was not a matter of course. But Kathi was to lovely! When Eteri sees a Lady today , ( for example Jewegenia or Lisa ) she recommends to retire and to get babies! What a change into bad in this beautiful sport! Art is dead! Congratulations! But we have Brian...the last of the greatest coaches ...and Alexei Myshin.....the real masters of sport. But against an army of children with such an "manager" - noone can win. It is an unequal battle.....Alina is save....she took the last possibility and could escape.....! Bravo! She deserves a great life!

Интересно сколько бы она набрала баллов сейчас

Когда то нравилось ! Сейчас смотреть маленько весело !

it was a rarity for her to win figures? really? who was the figures queen back in that day?

💗✉✉💗✉✉💗 💗✉✉💗✉✉✉ 💗💗💗💗✉✉💗 💗✉✉💗✉✉💗 💗✉✉💗✉✉💗 нет слов!

А где сейчас Катарина?

Раньше казалось, что не бывает круче. А теперь понимаешь, что на Трусову бы смотрели, как на инопланетянку.

Who won the SP?

Gut. Nehmen operetta.

I love this program but, a little hair spray for that hairstyle would had been nice.

I really think Witt should have beaten Thomas here because Thomas’ programme was so weak artistically.

Katerina's coach was spying on her to the Stasi, so not exactly a "mentor ". More like a backstabber.

Tonya Harding was the best

Without a doubt she had some of the ugliest spins ever !

She shouldn't have won the gold, the old steroid queen.
