Zitat des Tages von Katarina Witt:
When I go out on the ice, I just think about my skating. I forget it is a competition.
It's hard work to make a four-minute program look effortless and elegant.
I want to see sunrises in the mountains. You never get to see such things enough in a lifetime. I want to see more.
Money was never the motivation. It never should be in sports.
When I get up, I have a cup of coffee, surf the Internet, then do a half-hour run.
I never had a serious injury that kept me out of a big competition. Now everyone has injuries - to their feet or their knees or their backs.
Figure skating is a mixture of art and sport.
I was the very first athlete in East Germany allowed to go professional.
Every man prefers to look at a well-shaped woman instead of a rubber ball.
When you see the audiences and the smiling faces at the shows it really makes up for the work that you put in. I have a job I really love so whatever hecticness comes up - I'll just deal with it.
When you're young, you don't think very far ahead. You just think in terms of the next day, the next week, the next competition. You don't think about injuries that could threaten your long-term health.
It's not like I didn't do anything for 10 years and chose a new profession. I've been on the ice a lot. I'm not an outsider.
The desire to really compete again has been there for a long time.
Almost nothing is presented to you on a silver platter. You have to really work for it.
