I loved reading about Katarina Witt and her pursuit of skating. It is definitely inspiring to me.
I am not a skater but I am a great fan of Katarina Witt since my childhood..I have grown up with watching her skating programmes and when I was a little girl I was wearing my rollerblades at home and I was Katarina Witt:)collecting all the flowers -that my mum,grandfather,and other family members that I made them throw me flowers:))-but due to the lack of skating arenas I have never been able to start to skate seriously although I was very talented and willing but I always admired Katarina Witt.
Throughout the 1980s and early '90s, East German Katarina Witt dominated the world of ladies' skating. In her autobiography, Witt describes what skating has meant to her, as she details a coming-of-age story being "told" to a young up-and-coming skater, Jasmine.
I wonder why Katarina stirs clear about her real life and her close involvement with the Stasi, and how it ruined and destroyed people's lives, it would at least have made a more interesting read than this dull book. Ho hum, it has been said that Ms.
Tear your eyes away from the winter spectacle of the Turin Olympics and treat yourself to multiply talented skating superstar Katarine Witt's most intimate memories. She tells them all to a young girl whose name she kindly changes to "Jasmine," a young girl who comes to her in need of advice.
I am a big figure skating fan. I have read every skating book out there.
Always projected as a fascinating ice princess, I was hoping for something more interesting. Very little in terms of an intimate portrait and advice on becoming a champion skater.
I found this book to be a fascinating look into the life of a remarkably strong and independent woman. It isn't gossipy, but it is honest and unapologetic about what it was like to grow up as an elite athlete in East Germany and to have to compete with the expectations of a country on your shoulders.
This book contains the musings of Olympian figure skater, Katerina Witt, who has won gold medals in two consecutive Olympics, four world championships, and eight national championships. She ruminates on the rigors of athletic competition and on the life lessons she has learned along the way.
A book in English from this legendary skater whose celebrity transcends her sport is long overdue, and this one is a most welcome treat. While not strictly autobiographical, it feels like an extended, intimate conversation, and Witt is remarkably candid about her life experiences and opinions.
I used to watch figure skating with my grandmother, and Katarina Witt was one of my favorites. She was so beautiful, and always had such amazing routines.
