Did anyone catch the documentary on tv about Katarina Witt and the Cold War - called "The Diplomat"? I watched most of it. It covered Katarina's early days of competing, and the period when she filmed the special Carmen on Ice show with Brian Orser and Brian Boitano which was made when the Berlin Wall came down. It was interesting. Although Katarina was certainly a sports hero for her nation, they also despised her for the money she was earning while training and competing. She lived a life of privilege according to some. Great footage.
