- Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - 1988 Winter Games, Ladies' Short Program - Re-posting another one of the videos the IOC had filed copyright infringement and had me taking it down. Now, the IOC only wants to monetize on these clips.
Katarina Witt of the German Democratic Republic placed 2nd in the portion of the competition. With her 3rd place finish in Compulsory Figures, she would be in 2nd Place going into the Long Program. And what's an Olympic figure skating competition without controversy? The controversy here was how short and skimpy the "skirt" part of Katarina's outfit was, especially in the front.
I don't care what anyone says. This costumer was fabulous, and the performance was insane.
There's no comparison for me..Katarina's beauty and demeanor, skating ability and charm wins over Thomas all day..Thomas looks like she's headed into a boxing match or to get a root canal
@@keithfloydjr4014 I disagree. I think Debi Thomas was also a phenomenal skater with great musical interpretation, as were the other top 5 finishers at this Olympics.
@@stevebbuk9557 What was wrong with Debbie's unitard ? It was perfect for the more modern, club music of her SP. Debbie's SP was technically more difficult than Kat's, and she had better body lines. IMO, Debbie should've placed first in the SP, because the emphasis in the SP was supposed to be the technical aspect.
@@3l3llala13 No the emphasis on the short programme is first and foremost not to make a mistake. Required elements and presentation are equal. The modern music you call it (I call it a trifle trashy) jarred with myself and the judges, so it seemed. I would aver had she maintained that pace with a flawless technical programme in the LP she would have snatched the gold, even with the leggings, which fortunately she had dispensed with by that time.

You are correct. I was there, it was fabulous!
To date, love her skating, beauty and charm. One of the great champs of all time.
She had that certain "something"..
@@Iceis_Phoenix : that...je ne sais quoi !
She will always be my favorite.
Way better than Tonya Harding
That’s your opinion.
Witt and Oksana Baiul the only two skaters who can pull off this Broadway showgirl dancing routine on ice. Check out Oksana's 94 Olympic LP, also impressive and very similar. Broadway music is timeless!
One of figure skating all time greats 👍 true legend 👍👍
Kati, Kati, Kati, noone has ever made us East Germans prouder then you did in those times !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Величайшая фигуристка всех времен и народов! Лучшая! Сколько задора, оптимизма! Все движения на автомате, стабильность техники! Артистизм выше всяких похвал! Театр Катарины Витт! Больше таких нет, жаль...
Верно! К.Витт показала настоящее спортивное фигурное катание, не лишённое великолепного артистизма! Что многое утеряно у современных одиночек!
Просто звезда эпохи!
Бесподобна!
Легенда фигурного катания, любимица болельщиков всего мира!
First, thanks for re-posting this; your video of this performance is a much finer quality than many others'. After viewing this, I went back and watched her skate at the 1987 NHK when she wore a presumably more scandalous version of the costume. At NHK there were fewer feathers on her hips and the ones in the rear appeared to be shorter. Unless she skated an earlier version that had no feathers at all, I presume this is the outfit that provoked judges' comments of her skating in a "g-string."
Anyway, with almost 30 years' perspective, her Olympic skate was not the most difficult of the evening and perhaps did not contain the artistic heft of some of the others, Katarina accomplished what she did so many times in her career; delivered the performance she needed when she needed it most.
Unsere liebe Kati wird immer die Beste auf dieser Welt bleiben. Damals hat das Zuschauen noch Spaß gemacht. ❤️❤️❤️👍
K. Witt had matured very nicely since the 1984 Olympics... as a skater, and as a woman.
I remember there was a bruhaha about her skating dresses for these Olympics. Some thought they were too low cut and/or suggestive, but I don't see what the big deal was, even after all these years.
Neither I do...🤷♀️
Самая лучшая фигуристка 1984-1988 г.г.Двухкратная олимпийская чемпионка в 18 лет и в 22 года.
И чемпионка мира 84,85,87,88 годов.
Просто шикарная девушка.
А ее тренер фрау Ютта Мюллер сделала из нее как и из Яна Хоффмана настоящую звезду.
33 года назад это было. Великолепно! Катарина и сегодня могла бы успешно соревноваться с нынешними девочками. Прекрасно!
The key word is girls. There’s a difference in terms of elegance.. Katerina had “it”!
Non elle était bien en dessous au niveau technique. A notre époque elle ne serait même pas qualifier
@@liline5651les français....les paroles. ....
Sie war nicht die allergrößte Springerin - dafür hatte sie Ausstrahlung, Tanz, wunderschöne Kostüme, Wahnsinnsmusik und Schönheit! Was waren das für tolle TV-Abende !!!!
Катарина витт... Любовь моя с детства... Сильнейшая спортсменка в свое время, красавица...
Образец на все времена...Бесподобная красотка и гений льда.Великолепный образец стройной спортивной фигуры.Не то что нынешние анерексички.
К сожалению для современного детского катания она прыгающий страус.
@@SR-sp4bj Не к сожалению: Витт- образец ЖЕНСКОГО катания, а не подросткового, прекрасная фигуристка, а не "детский прыгающий страус", которому далеко до настоящего женского катания.И сейчас нет женского катания, есть подростковое- и все чемпионки- однодневки ни одна не удержала золото.
@@МесяцМай-т3п вот именно щас одни девочки маленькие катаются
@@SR-sp4bj nobody in a million gazillion years would refer to her as an ostrich except from you.
In '88, I was 16 and had a huge crush on Katerina Witt. Lol. What a gorgeous woman and talented athlete!
Same here.......I was 28 years...... 🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤
Love her footwork.
She really danced on the ice, so unlike other dull ones then.
Восхищаюсь красотой Катарины !
Катарина есть Катарина! Ракета! Так приятно было посмотреть на неё!
Легенда Фигурного Катания ЛЮБИМИЦА БОЛЕЛЬЩИКОВ ВСЕГО МИРА!
It annoys me that every commentator and interviewer had to say something about Katarina’s looks... Butttt I can’t say I blame them :-o
Reminds me of my childhood. She was brilliant!!!
I remember this well and recall being in awe of her beauty.
Practicalli she dances like being on a solid surface not ice. Two fantastic legs permitted her to do famtastic things .
And yet, she got the gold!!!!!! Go Katrina!
Her strength layed mostly in the short programms. Beautiful dancing at the end.
Some of her international victories came with her winning the SP and nothing else.
@@johnorlando9839 she only ever once lost a FP-at these very Olympics. Second to Liz Manley. Yet there were a few occasions she didn’t win the SP: 85 Europeans, 86 Europeans, 86 Worlds, 88 Worlds
Кatarina... The BEST!!! Катарина - лучшая... Помним. Любим...🌹❤️❤️❤️
Лучшая фигуристка в мире , каждый танец , спектакль , глаз не оторвать
Sie war einmalig , schöne Frau, tolle Kostüme und auf den Punkt ihre ihre Choreographie.....wir hatten keine Chance sie live zu sehen in der DDR....ich sehe sie gerne.....heute noch.....
Absolutely beautiful great performance one of the best skaters ever⛸⛸⛸⛸⛸⛸...................Kimberley 🇬🇧
Da stimmt einfach alles, danke, danke Katarina 😍 alles Gute!!!
Katarina ist so brilliant ❤️❤️❤️
Amazimg program. One of my favorite programs of all time.
Присоединяюсь, звезда эпохи, умничка....
What a stellar and captivating performance! Clearly, the best short program (Witt, Kadavy, Thomas, Trenary, Ito and Manley is how I would have ranked them).
A wonderful program
American judges are most Jealous😞😞 what a Shame to not recognize Beauty and charms🔥🔥🔥🔥 HAIL KATARINA WITT 👏👏👏😍😍🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩💖💖💖💖💖💖
Dick Button summarized Kat's skating style perfectly while her marks were being shown:
"While she has enormous charms, enormous jumping ability and a great competitiveness, the style and her positions really are not that first rate."
An underrated short programme.
All her performances in 1988 (the short and the long) are under-rated.
Two of the great performances of all time, esp. so the long, "Carmen".
John G. Lewis - The Carmen program was fairly rated. While it was strong artistically (over the top for my taste), it was not so strong technically. She spent a lot of time barely moving, standing around posing, simply trying to seduce the judges.
@@MrOu83 : yes . You are right. But...how nice she was ! Seducing.. is an art also ! Not everyone is capable . She's a Queen !
@@MrOu83 disagree. In the opening minute she had 4 jumping passes done to very fast music and timed precisely to the music. Had she been a split second out on her timing the whole lot would have been a mess, especially the part from the second 3T, immediately into 2A, straight into combination spin then step sequence into layback - all right on the music with no room for breath/error. Surely this is technically challenging? I don’t blame her for having a bit of a breather after all that 😆
The US DIDN’T have a chance against her!!
She is the best.
Seit Kati ,gab es nie mehr ,so ein Superstar ,,,,
Her extended Playboy pictorial was memorable!
Das ist Eiskunstlauf von einem anderen Stern - Danke Kati :-)
Easiest Jump Combination of ALL the Top Female Skaters---and she wins the Technical Program. KATARINA OWNED the Judges.😕
Nobody does it like Katarina 👍 she's great. I loved all her routines still the best.
If I could ever have just one wish as to who I would want to meet, it would be Katarina Witt hands down. !st of all she was/is BEAUTIFUL!!! 2nd, I would bet she is a very sweet and kind person. I can just tell. Classy Women to say the least.
В ГДР фигурное катание процветало,а в ФРГ сдулось
Fabulous routine 😁
Die Künstlerin unter den Sportlerinnen.
“Well, you’re a beautiful girl” - Lol I feel like that was a rly weird way to end a post-performance interview with an athlete at the Olympics - however true it may be (and yes, it is very, very true)
Did the same with Gracie Gold... Maybe not to her face but they’d always mention it on the broadcast...
badfeminist I was more horrified by Dick Button’s analogy of her being a showgirl as she stood at the boards and his ‘look at that,
Isn’t that just wonderful’ like some kind of perv 😳
Victoria Gill - She was portraying a showgirl in this program.
MrOu83 I think you missed my point which was about the way in which Dick Button spoke about her
She's so pretty
Yes!!!!!
The prettiest
Honi's wet dream
А вот Катька действительно Красота Вот это есть женское фигурное катание как говорят немцы Das ist fantastisch Не в обиду нашим девочкам они в этом плане Здорово уступают
Да в те годы Катарине не было равных у нас была Елена Водорезова которая бесконца падала даже на ровном месте! А сейчас слышала вроде бы она стала тренером вот каким вопрос конечно интересный!
Воспитала первую олимпийскую чемпионку в женском катании Аделину Сотникову
Конечно по современным требованиям прокат не очень сложный, но артистизм заслуживает 100процентной оценки!
По современным меркам.. среднее катание (в плане техники)... все развивается... когда - нибудь и трикселя станут обязательными в короткой программе)
А современных никто и не смотрит, разве такие же калеки перехожие.
@@user-xb3ep8pd5e - ка́лИки перехожие, т.е. странники, а не калЕки ( от слова искалЕченный).
@@user-gm6ub3zw4s техника у неё отличная, а вот сложность - да, сейчас гораздо сложнее и прыжки, и элементы. Но, как писали выше в комментариях, Катарина - это образец женского катания, а не детского, подросткового.. Что толку, что они прыгают...
@@user-lm1id9zp2y А я говорю "калеки".
Her scores were inflated on the technical side. The axel and the combo were not quite in control
Sure
KATHARINA WITT HATTE EIN UNBESCHREIBLICHES KÖNNEN MIT DEM MIX EINER EINMALIGEN SPORTLICHEN ELEGANZ!!!
Thank you, Madeleine.
Любимица ,каталась легко ,можно сказать не касаясь льда.
that is the diffrent between how the Sport in Germany is called between english is :Eiskunstlauf - meens iceartskating and this is what she allways does
I personally think katarina was generally better in Short programs than long programs , this one was one of my favourite of hers , but still think Debi should've won that portion of the competition .
She did?
Can somebody tell me where can I find this exact version of the music in background???
Только один американец снизил бал! Катарина Витт - мы тебя любим! ❤_
Катарина,😍😍😍💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Чечка на льду??? Вот это пилотаж!!! Катарина для меня , опять, стала лучшей на всей планете!!!!!
Катерина-чудо из ГДР. С исчезновением ГДР немцы многого лишились
what for a very charming woman...
Vielen Dank, Gabi
Kati.... Königin auf dem Eis 😋❤️
Интересно сколько дадут за такую программу в 2020
Нисколько🤣
Очаровательная Катарина. Какой артистизм!
This girl is so fun
SHE IS SO PRETTY! Beautiful figure, talent...The whole package. Where is Katarina now?
She commentator for Germany
fantastická a nezapomenutelná Katarína a taky krásná dáma a úžasná krasobruslařka.....beautiful,very,very,supéééééééér jupíííííííí....
What is the name of music pllsssss???😊
Does anyone know the music that she danced to, starting at 1:55? Thanks!!
Hello Dolly
Да,.были времена по сравнению с нынешними фигуристками небо и земля.
Чем же, Вам, сегодняшние не угодили?
@@ОльгаИльина-е1б уровень сегодняшнего фк очень высок, почему сразу не угодили, сложно сейчас кататься и быть на первых местах...
@@user-iz9qq9rb7b Сейчас и жить не Совсем, просто, а что делать, прогресс! Нам, уже по жившим людям Всегда будет, казаться, что там в прошлой жизни, было лучше и интереснее! Здоровья и Удачи!🤗
@@ОльгаИльина-е1б спасибо за добрые слова!
Конечно небо и земля, по сравнению с этим убогим катанием 😂
Danke👍 Parfaite!!!
Sie immer wieder anzuschauen.....bei allem.....total top.....
Beautiful!!! Beauty is coming from inside!
I love the song
Does anyone have videos of these "school figures", so I can see what exactly they were? (I was too young to remember this competition very well)
lflagr Just RUclips 1988 ladies (or men’s) compulsory figures.
The countdown has started.
Entertaining short program. I still think much more should have been said about the level of attractiveness between The Two Brians. Athletic attractiveness is crucial in every sport. 😂
Tolle Katarina! Aber die Musik!!!
Gut, dass die heute moderner ist.
good old times ❤
Super
Bravo Kathi
The last jump was a 2F or a 3F ? Thanks
Double. Back then, the solo jump a required 2F. Every skater had to perform it. It wasn't until after this season that the requirement changed to any double jump except the Axel. After the 1993-1994 season, the requirement was then any double or triple solo jump.
@ 3:30 that double loop was about 1/2 revolution Still On The Ice!!!!!!!
Le phantasme absolu.
Чего истерили тогда? Нормальный костюм.
So this outfit is what kicked off the Katarina Rule. I don't see what the big deal is.
Воспитанница Ютты Мюллер (СК Карл-Маркс Штадт) второе золото Олимпиады кряду
The commies produced some absolute talent. What an amazing culture these people maintained despite being a nation of prisoners.
これです❗中学の時にこのショートを見て当時の日本との違いをハッキリ感じました。芸術性において、ですけど。
Very nice, plesed seeing.
Ах, ляжечки как хороши! Молодец, рвала в свое время всех.
А сейчас уже её называют толстой
