Christy Hemme is not just a former wrestler and wrestling announcer. She had also recorded various pieces of music, most notably Society Box, which was featured on a wrestling program.

In 1998, Witt appeared in the film Ronin in a small supporting role with several lines of dialogue. Around this time, she also played a villain in an episode of the tongue-in-cheek television series, V.I.P. In November 2005, Witt published a novel, Only with Passion, in which she offers advice to a fictional young skater based on her many years of skating. Since October 2006, she has had her own TV show, Stars auf Eis ("Stars on Ice"), on German channel ProSieben. She was invited to Istanbul as an honoured guest for the skating competition TV show called Buzda Dans ("Dance on Ice") on 25 February 2007. On 3 December 2011, Witt was confirmed as a judge on the UK TV show Dancing on Ice, where she made her first appearance on 8 January 2012. [11] Berkow, Ira (20 April 1994).

However, she does also have other notable accomplishments. For one, she appeared on Survivor: China, although she was voted off after just the second episode. Judging panel revealed for the new series of Dancing On Ice". ITV. 2 December 2011. Archived from the original on 6 December 2011. Kati Witt has always been known for her beauty and sex appeal as well as for her athleticism. Time magazine called her “the most beautiful face of socialism”. Kati's taste in figure skating costumes sometimes raised eyebrows. At the 1983 European championships she skated her Mozart short program in knee breeches instead of a skirt. Her blue skirtless feather-trimmed 1988 costume for a showgirl-themed short program was considered too theatrical and sexy, and led to a change in the ISU regulations which required female skaters to wear more modest clothing including skirts. In 1994, skating a Robin Hood-themed program, she again pushed the boundaries of the costume regulations by wearing not a skirt but a short tunic over leggings. My father was in farming and my mother was a physiotherapist at a hospital (in her birthplace of Staaken). She starred in a German-language film called Die Eisprinzessin - The Ice Princess, providing the vocals for the theme song, "Skate with Me".

At the age of only 14 years, Amanda Beard won her first Olympic gold medal, becoming the second youngest American swimmer to win an Olympic gold medal. She broke twice the world record in the 200-meter breaststroke, participated in four Summer Olympics, (1996, 2000, 2004, 2008) and captured a total of seven medals. Amanda stirred quite a bit of controversy, when she unveiled her anti-fur PETA ad at the Beijing Olympic Games. Beard decided to go naked rather than wear fur to help promote PETA’s campaigns. Before posing nude for PETA, Amanda posed nude for Playboy in July 2007 in an effort to change clichés of what it means to be a powerful athlete and woman. 2. Gabrielle Reese But I didn't want to do it. However, in 1998 aged 33 I thought why not. I was an adult and it was an adult magazine.Witt made her first appearance in a major international competition at the 1979 European Championships, finishing 14th at the event. At the 1981 World Championships, she placed 1st in the short, 3rd in the long, and 2nd in the combined free skate, missing a medal due to low placement in figures. She placed on a major podium for the first time in 1982, winning silver at both the European and World Championships. She had a great shot at winning the 1982 World Championships, which she only required winning the long program to do. However, she stepped out of three jumps, including the legendary triple flip, the complex element she was the very first woman to accomplish, and a relatively easy double axel, which cost her the long program win and the overall gold medal. The eventual winner of the competition was Elaine Zayak, who landed six triples. The next season, she won her first European title but finished off the World podium in fourth place, because she was 8th in compulsory figures despite winning the combined free skating. Had she placed 1st in the long program instead of 2nd (on a 5–4 split) to Sumners, she would have jumped to the silver over both Leistner and Vodorezova. Her free skate with a triple flip and five triples was technically superior to Sumners', and many believed she should have taken the crucial 1st place in this phase. That, though, is not the reason for the comparison with Monroe, whose ice skating skills were never uncovered, but because in December 1998 she became only the second woman to sell out an issue of adult magazine 'Playboy' when she posed naked. Witt won the first of her two Olympic gold medals for East Germany at the 1984 Sarajevo Olympics, before winning a second at the 1988 Calgary Olympics. She is one of only two skaters to defend a ladies' singles Olympic title, the other being Norwegian Sonja Henie. Witt is a four-time World Champion (1984, 1985, 1987, 1988) and two-time World silver medalist (1982, 1986). She won six consecutive European Championships (1983–1988), a feat only equalled by Sonja Henie among female skaters. Between 1984 and 1988, Witt won ten golds from eleven major international events, making her one of the most successful figure skaters.

Whether posing nude is damaging or not for female athletes, is still a hot debate. Are we really “telling women that it’s not enough to be a world-class athlete, that you have also to take off your shirt” as Prof. Charlene Weaving states? By the way, did you know that ancient Olympians competed nude? 10. Amy Acuff She is also the founder and lead singer of the self-titled band, HEMME.

At Lillehammer I wanted to send a message of peace as the ice rink where I had won gold in Sarajevo had been destroyed during the bombardment of the city by the Serbians.

Szerencséje volt, hiszen a nyolcvanas évek végén még rajta tartotta a szemét a Stasi, vagyis a keletnémet titkosszolgálat, ám 10 évvel később már senkit sem érdekelt odahaza, hogy miért és mennyiért vetkőzött le. Katarina megerősítette, hogy megkapta a későbbi amerikai elnök, Donald Trump személyes mobilszámát is, ám alighanem ő volt az egyetlen nő, aki sohasem hívta fel a rámenős férfit.
