[5][6] 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 dubbed the "Katarina rule" which required female skaters to wear more modest clothing; skirts were required to cover the buttocks and crotch. Sumners scaled back two of her jumps and Witt won the long program by one-tenth of a point on one judge's scorecard. The paper says the athlete has been spotted wearing a new wedding ring earlier this week. But was he referring to the supposed wedding, some fans wondered. The made-for-television movie Der Feind in meinem Leben (The enemy in my life) thus has autobiographical elements, as Witt herself had been stalked 20 years before in the United States. Had Manley not narrowly lost second place to Thomas in the short program (by one judge), or Witt not narrowly held onto second place over Ito in the long program (on a 6-3 split), Manley would have defeated Witt for the overall gold medal. Witt won the gold medal at age of 18 years and 77 days, became one of the youngest figure skating Olympic champions. Jutta Müller began coaching her in 1977. She has said nothing about her planning to get married. 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. Earlier, Thomas had two footed her triple-loop attempt, and while Kadavy had done two successful triple loops, she had also popped several triple or double-axel attempts. She appeared as herself in two episodes of the TV comedy series Arli$$ that aired in 1997 and 1998. Skating last and under immense pressure with both Kadavy and Thomas having earlier turned in brilliant performances, Witt landed five triple jumps, including a clean triple loop jump which was most crucial of all to win. In a dramatic buildup, she would also draw last to skate, and get to close the show in her final Olympic skate, after the medalists had already been determined.

Also, if they had to meet then it would take a 2-3 days journey.

In 1994, Witt made a comeback to the competitive-skating scene, coached again by Jutta Müller. In the long program, she was put under pressure by Ivanova who made a strong bid for the gold with a clean three-triple long program including a difficult triple loop, but Witt trumped her with a four triple long program which highlighted much better artistry than Ivanova, to overtake her by six judges to three in the long program and overall. Witt's long standing dominance of the sport was finally punctured when in an upset she placed second to American Debi Thomas, the new United States Champion, the following year.
