Skating: Witt suppresses her worries
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Katarina Witt, six times European champion, has been running up and down the Brondby Stadium steps in Copenhagen in training for the European Championships apparently unconcerned by the possibility of being the victim of an attack like the one on Nancy Kerrigan. It was all show. 'It's unbelievable that this attack was organised and was not by a crazy person,' she said. 'I feel it even more because of this.' Witt begins her campaign tomorrow in the qualifying round and will 'play safe' she said in order to reach the final 30 who will compete from Friday. She will exclude tomorrow the triple loop, a jump she managed in training session on Friday.
