Legends live on: Katarina Witt

Born in East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Katarina Witt became a figure skating sensation when she won Olympic gold at Sarajevo 1984 at just 18 years of age.

She doubled down by successfully defending her title at Calgary 1988.

But Witt wasn't just technically brilliant, she brought a theatrical, emotional element to her skating, her powerful performance to Carmen's Bizet in Calgary's iconic 'Battle of the Bizet's' is historic and her swansong in 1994 at the Winter Games in Lillehammer was just as moving.

Witt left an indelible mark on figure skating and has since gone on to do some incredible things off the ice too.

A quintuple jump - is it even possible?
