Where is Katarina Witt today?

Katarina Witt, who became known all over the world as one of the best figure skaters of all time, is still active in the entertainment industry, but less than before. She is currently running her own charitable organization called ‘Katarina Witt Stiftung’, established in 2005, which takes care of children with physical disabilities.

Who is Katarina Witt?

Katarina Witt was born on the 3rd December 1965, in then-East Berlin, East Germany and is certainly best recognized as a former professional figure skater, who won six European Figure Skating Championships, four World Figure Skating Championships and two Olympic gold medals. She is also known as an actress.

Early Life and Education

When it comes to speak about her early life, Katarina spent her childhood in Staaken, East Berlin, now a part of the unified city and the capital of Germany, where she was raised alongside her brother named Alex, by her father, Manfred Witt, who was a farmer, and her mother, Käthe Witt, who worked as a physiotherapist. She became interested in ice skating at the age of five, so she later attended the Karl-Marx-Stadt School, where she joined the Karl-Marx-Stadt Sports Club. She also went to Kinder- und Jugendsportschule, a special school for athletically talented children. As a nine-year-old girl, Katarina was spotted by renowned skating coach Jutta Müller, who started coaching her in 1977, developing her skills and improving her performance.

Rise to Fame

Although starting to skate at a young age of five, but first entered a major international skating competition at the age of 14, the 1979 European Championships, when she finished 14th, while her first significant medal came two years later, when she won the East German National Championship. In the next season, she won a silver medal not only at the European Figure Skating Championship, but also at the World Championship, after which she won her first NHK Trophy as well as the European title in 1983 for the first of a record-tying six consecutive times.

Olympic Games and Other Titles

In 1984, Katarina participated at the Winter Olympic Games held in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, and won the gold medal at the age of 18, which made her one of the youngest figure skating Olympic champions. Four years later, she won her second in the ladies’ singles event at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and in the meantime, she also won five more European Figure Skating Championships and four World Figure Skating Championships from 1984 to 1988, losing only in 1986 to Debi Thomas, all of which potentially added a considerable amount to her net worth, as the sport was then still officially amateur, unpaid.

Retirement

After winning her fourth World Championship title in 1988, Katarina decided to retire from competitive amateur skating, and focused on pursuing a professional career in the US along with UD Champion Brian Boitano. They created the show entitled “Will And Boitano Skating” and performed throughout the US. However, she returned to competitive skating in 1994, when she finished second at the German Championships, eighth at the European Championship, and seventh at the Winter Olympic Games, held in Lillehammer, Norway, after which she permanently retired from competitive skating. During her career she won numerous prestigious competitions, and became one of the best figure skaters of all time, for which she was inducted into the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame in 1995. Furthermore, she also won the Jim Thorpe Pro Sports Award in 1995, in recognition of her accomplishments.
