One of the greatest skaters of all time. Her choreography, technique, and artistry set her apart!! Tremendous athleticism!! The joy on her face says it all!!
Великая фигуристка.Кумир моей молодости.Помним и любим!Фигурное катание ушло так далеко вперёд за эти годы.Но Катарина и сейчас смотрится очень хорошо и современно.С любовью к ней из России!
Незабываемая фигуристка! Мастерство, талант, темперамент! С ней было трудно соперничать. Тогда немецкая школа фигурного катания была в расцвете. Спасибо за видео!!!
Ich vermisse die Art Entertaiment und Unterhaltung auf dem Eis. Jetzt geht es nur noch darum, wer die meisten Sprünge zeigt. Beim Eistanz tanzen alle nach klassischer Musik. Es ist so langweilig geworden. Es fehlt der Pepp. Echt schade. Kati sollte Trainerin werden, um solch tolles Entertainment zurückzubringen aufs Eis.
Das stimmt, viele wirken mittlerweile verkrampft, weil man ihnen auch den enormen Druck anmerkt. Eine schöne Ausnahme ist für mich der junge Japaner Yuzuru Hanyu, aber der ist bei Olympia 2022 leider gescheitert gegen seinen ärgsten Konkurrenten. Ein weiteres Problem ist auch, dass viele spektakuläre Elemente wie Saltos, Hebefiguren im Paarlauf und andere mittlerweile aus Sicherheitsgründen verboten wurden. So kann der Eiskunstläufer seine Fähigkeiten nur noch über möglichst viele Sprünge zeigen.
А ведь прошло 34 года! Равной Катарины не было! И сейчас, спустя 34 года, девочка даст 100 очков вперёд по красоте проката и женственности. Без всяких четвернях! Спасибо, что была на льду, и радовала нас столько лет!!
Да что вы прицепились к четверным. Я хочу смотреть фигурное катание из за сложных прыжков. А танцы могу смотреть и на других соревнованиях. Поперек горла стоят эти четверные кому то, достали.
Considering the 'seriousness' of Bizet for the olympic gold in the same year, just goes to show what versatility she had, and rhythm she had as an skate artist.
Dang - this was so good. She did the moonwalk on skates , that’s just insanely awesome. I admire her choice , the choreography and the artistic quality of it .
Remember.....the Cold War and the Iron Curtain was still a Thing in 1988. So the Use of a Michael Jackson Song as an East German Athlete was something very Special!
I was around 12 when I happened to catch this electrifying performance live on tv, and I knew it then, I knew it very well that these was going to be one of those wonderous moments that will never ever forget.
I was too young at that time to watch it, let alone understand the actual happening. Was this performance meant as an exhibition or was it part of her olympic programme over there?
It was a post Olympic competition exhibition. Katarina had won her second consecutive gold medal basically by playing defense against America's Debbie Thomas (who was leading going into the long program). The tactic worked, not only at the Olympics, but the World Championships a few months later. What made the exhibition interesting was because how much popularity women's figure skating was receiving during that time. Katarina vs Debi was quite a catalyst in achieving that popularity. Not to mention West Germany was still Communist at the time, and she skated to Michael Jackson. Back then that in and of itself was a big deal.
ohmixmaster Thanks a lot for your very detailed answer on my question. I was still a young child at that time. But I guess my father was very delighted to see a young Katarina Witt in action... I can't remember if my mother was that happy about him looking so "interested" at Witt's performance. Do you also know to tell me which one of these two champions was in your eyes the better one? Was it Katarina Witt or her American rival Debbie Thomas? Thanks again for your nice answer.
Your welcome. And yeah, your father was not alone, my teenage self along with pretty much every other man in the world was rather, how should I say, "captivated" by her...lol. In regards to who was "better" I would say Debi was the better athlete, but Katarina was the better performer and strategist.
ohmixmaster lol, I like your very polite way to describe your interest in Witt, apart from her excellent figure skating performance... you were "captivated" ;-). Seems as if I have missed two of the greatest female figure skaters , shame. But therfor we have youtube and such. I do ice-skate too, but I'm - at best - not a quarter as talented as Witt and Thomas were.
Oh, this is gold. No wonder she got Olympic gold that year. (I know this is the after-exhibit, and she got gold for another performance before this.) Superb!!! 💕🤗
1988 - the berlin wall was still up but kati could do this already. the system was crumbling. the comrades allowed kati to do a michael jackson. a few years before this would not have been possible yet. - a year later the berlin wall fell and kati was a free girl to dance to whatever she liked on ice shows all round the world. freedom and democracy is the most valuable thing in life.
Such a stupid comment! Michael Jackson was viewed in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) as a black Guy, who had successfully made it to the top of the music industry - with critical songs against rassism. Don't be trapped in your anti-communist biased thinking.
Freedom yes, the most amazing thing, true freedom though, which is not found in any of the political systems on earth yet, perhaps the human nature is the very reason behind this, also the US was a different country back then, waaaay different from what it is today
Egal, wie weit sich sportlich das Eiskunstlaufen entwickelt. In Verbindung mit Kunst war es nur bei Kati schön. Ihr hat man es immer angemerkt, dass es ihr Spaß macht. Bei allen anderen ist es nur Sport und das meistens sehr langweilig.
Катарина Вит осталась в сердцах и памяти миллионов поклонников по всему миру, и ведь она не делала четверных, а смотреть намного приятнее, чем сегодняшняя истеричка со своими квадами…
You could already feel the wall falling in Berlin- a champion from East (GDR) performing on Michael Jackson song with such ease and joy was really something at that time. Even though- nobody could imagine that the end was so close ... And Katarina really is exceptional talent, personality and charm up until these days.
I dont like this choreography. It could be better. It was more like dancing. Most of the impressive moves were missing. Skating in just 30 seconds of the 2 minute show. But I appreciate her taking the big risk and choosing this song :)
True. Your comment is understandable - Katarina was guilty of dancing or posing in a spot instead of skating. But at least this was an exhibition number, and an encore, which is why it's short. But it's worse that she started dancing and posing in one spot in her later career in her own competition programs. Just like in her famous Carmen program. Not good.
This was an encore. She’d already skated I am What I am with toe loops, axels, laybacks, change foot camels & scratch spins. This was a bit of fun to appeal to everyone - especially those who weren’t particularly interested in figure skating.
Again and again and again, the more you watch from 1980's the clearer it becomes how much better 1980's is than any other decade ESPECIALLY the horrendous disgusting 21st century, everything was awesome, best cars, best music, best athletes, best olympics, best everything
ART in the best way of this sport w/o every 30 sec a jump. Clear that's was the show part of the Olympics. But for me this was every year after the championships the best part, especially with Katarina Witt 🤘🙏 This was Katarina's clear statement (for her East German government)... I'm ready for the ice shows and you must keep the word, what you have given to me. Second Olympic Gold against American Ice show 💪
Да,Катарина великая фигуристка. Но это выступление мне не понравилось. Это ведь не танец на паркете. Это фигурное катание. А где катание? Его нет. Все выступление на месте.
Ach Kati, für viele warst und bist Du die Größte. Du hast uns soviel Freude bereitet, ich werde Carmen nie vergessen.

К большому сожалению таких фигуристов больше нет, А сейчас одни малолетки, попрыгунчики

Very simple routine
красавица и умница. Очень яркая фигуристка. С детства запомнилась.
Just look at the joy on her face while she's performing! Also, she did the moonwalk on ice skates - so cool!!

Moonwalks are incredibly easy to do in skates.
Wer guckt es auch 2019 weil es bei dancing on Ice erwähnt wurde 😁
Ich...
Schon irre was sie so geleistet hat👍
Der Hammer...😍😍😍
😂😂😂 erwischt.......
Hab nochmal geguckt war aber nicht so gut. Gibt viel bessere.
Браво нет слов одни эмоции умничка класс таких фигуристок уже никогда не будет браво!!!
Remember.....the Cold War and the Iron Curtain was still a Thing in 1988.
So the Use of a Michael Jackson Song as an East German Athlete was something very Special!
This was a signal, a prelude to the two sides becoming reunited. A year and a half later the Berlin Wall would finally fall.
Now THAT'S how you celebrate a win!
this is probably the most fun time she ever had on the ice; she even does the moonwalk!!
I was around 12 when I happened to catch this electrifying performance live on tv, and I knew it then, I knew it very well that these was going to be one of those wonderous moments that will never ever forget.
Erre még én is emlékszem .Üdv Magyarország ról❤
I remember this like it was yesterday....the US commentary was hilarious..."The motorcycle is parked out back." lol lol

Когда-то я смотрела фигурное катание с удовольствием, а сейчас почему-то скучновато и нет праздника!
Bu gösteriyi tvde izlediğimi çok iyi hatırlıyorum.Inanilmazdi cok etkilenmistim.Uzun zaman akıllardan çıkmamıştı.Sevgiler Katarina Witt...
Ach Mensch, da kommt eine 80er Jahre Show im ZDF mit Thomas Gottschalks und das hier als Referenz. Zack ist man auf UA-cam unterwegs. :D
Ich auch :D
Вот это настоящий шедевр и праздник души и глаз. Молодец, Катти!
Oh, this is gold. No wonder she got Olympic gold that year. (I know this is the after-exhibit, and she got gold for another performance before this.) Superb!!! 💕🤗
Çucukluğumda TRT de izlemiş ve hayran kalmıştım ve şimdi izliyorum o günden bugüne 35 yıl gibi bir zaman geçmesine rağmen yine mükemmel yine süper 👏👏👏
She had so much fun doing this.. the smile says it all
EVERYONE had great fun there...
Einfach Spitze,laßt die Neider und Nichtskönner ruhig schreien.
Na da ist doch Feuer hinter . Klar kommt ja auch aus der DDR , so wie ich .
Запомнилась на всю жизнь ...легенда ФК .

She was Amazing. Great performance.
самая лучшая-навсегда)
А как же ваши из школы этери?.
Всему и всем свое время.... она - тогда лучшвя, наши - сейчас!!!
А по-моему лучше восхищаться, и наблюдать за интересными, красивыми, женщинами, чем на попрыгунчиков, от Этери тутберидзе
The gold medalist putting on a display at the end of the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics...
I've heard that Michael fell so deeply in love with her after this, he wanted to propose to her 😂
maybe he heard she had younger brothers.
@@theresagwhite3175 How stupid of you to believe Wade & James
She was a woman right?, That's when the Olympics didn't allow men to complete as women! She was one of my favorites!😁

Чудо,как хороша и талантлива!
Легко, непринужденно, радостно. Видно, что ей очень нравится то, что она делает...⛸

I'm wondering whether Michael Jackson saw this performance back then..? I bet he'd be happy! ⛸💕🎶😎👌🏻
