  • @mlc2005 Steroids completely would have benefited a skater, with the constant run thrus, and the stamina, the recovery and muscle memory. People who believe that steroids make you ripped or big (without doing the work..eg weights etc), are kidding themselves. But for your body to recovery and inable you to train more and do more, strength and stamina...

  • @deb90566 I hear this said a lot, but weren't most of the judges women?

  • @safehaven11 absolutely ! Katarina was always the most beautiful skater. Great quality unmatched by any other skater. I really enjoyed it.

  • Remember people, she was living in East Germany, not the United States. That means she was not free. If she took steriods, it's not as if she had a choice. The same goes for her cooperation with the Stasi. If she refused, there would have been serious consequences. Rent the movie "The Lives of Others" - it will enlighten you about life in the GDR.

  • When turned her sultry eyes on the judges and flirted shamelessly, there was no way she wouldn't win. Of course, she had the talent to back up her sexiness!

  • She doesn't look like someone who uses steroids - like the east german swimmers in '76 who looked like men with big bulky muscles. Plus I think steroids would slow you down in a sport like figure skating - you want to be small and light.

  • Can anyone explain the difference between an "Arabian", a "Butterfly", and a "Death Drop"? Visually I can recognize a death drop but no idea what the difference between a butterfly and arabian is.

  • I don't think her steroid use, if it's true, was really a huge advantage to her skating. This was figure skating, at a time when the jumps were not as huge or numerous as they are now (please don't get me wrong though; still VERY difficult). I just don't think steroid use would have made her footwork, spins, edging, or even jumping, all that better. Plus, there was no testing anywhere, so there could have been a lot more others doing it.

  • Katarina was a goddess and a true artist of the ice. Poetry in motion.
