Born: December 3, 1965, Karl-Marxstadt, German Democratic Republic. A German figure skater, she dominated the women's figure skating world in the 1980s with her charismatic, seductive and graceful performances. She started skating at the age of five and quickly became a popular figure in the GDR (East Germany), where she was trained at the state's special training institute for athletes. Under the guidance of one of the world's most famous coaches, Jutta Müller, she won her first East German championship in 1981, and maintained her position as national champion for the next seven years. Although she had never won a world championship, she competed in the women's singles figure skating event at the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics, where she won the gold medal by 0.1 points in her free skating, beating Rosalyn Sumners of the United States. In the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, she faced off against Debi Thomas of the United States, the only woman she had lost to in the past five years. In the free skating competition, she competed to music from Georges Bizet's opera Carmen, and her performance incorporated sensual grace and theatrical elements, winning the gold medal. She is the second woman to win the women's singles figure skating title at the Olympic Winter Games twice in a row, after Sonja Henie in 1936. She also won the World Championships four times (1984, 1985, 1987, and 1988) and the European Championships six times (1983-88). In 1988, after the World Championships, she turned professional. In 1990, she starred in the TV special Carmen on Ice, for which she won an Emmy Award. When the amateur rules were changed, she returned to the Lillehammer Winter Olympics in 1994, but finished seventh. She continued to have a successful professional career. (→ Ice skating) bit |
