Katarina Witt wants to get back into the Olympics. But she’s not exactly lacing up her skates & hitting the ice again. The former world figure skating champion & Playboy poser is trying to bring the Winter Games back to her native Germany.
SPORTS BUSINESS INTERNATIONAL reports that Witt was named head of the Munich 2018 Bid Committee, a 23-member organization hoping to have the Olympics back in Bavaria. Munich previously hosted the Summer Olympics in 1972, while Garmisch-Partenkirchen - the town that Katarina’s committee plans to co-host some of the events - was the site of the 1936 Winter Olympics.
So, why should the IOC listen to her? Some photographic reasons why after the jump.

Sure, why not. The Olympics worked out “great” last time they were held there.

With Alps like that I’m sure the IOC will put Germany on top of their list.

I’m just sorry I never got to see Katarina’s performance on the ice when she was an amateur ice skater and later as a professional. From the video clips that I’ve seen of her performances, it is easy to see that she is blessed with beauty, grace and charm. This gorgeous, former ice skater is the epitome of German and European beauty.
