Autobiography: sport; Ice-skating

Katarina Witt has won two Olympic gold medals, four world championships, and eight national championships in womens figure skating.

Now, in Only with Passion, she shares what shes learned in her career, offering her advice on love, work, and success to a new generation of female athletes.

When a young skater consults her for advice on whether to train abroad and leave behind her friends and family, Witt reflects back on the major turning points of her own journey, from her East German childhood to the international spotlight.

She shares her inside perspective and frank opinions on the insular world of skating and offers her views about what it takes to be a champion and to create a fulfilling life.
