Does anyone have dish on Jutta Mueller (the coach of Katarina, Jan Hoffmann, Annett Poetzsch, Gabby Saefert, etc.)? She seems awfully severe. Did she ever compete? Has she trained any other East German skaters (Christine Errath, Sonja Morgenstern)?

She did indeed train Christine Errath, don't know about Morgenstern. Gabby Seifert, by the way, is her daughter.

I believe she trained all of those skaters. I'm sure she was Annett's coach. BTW, Katarina Witt's brother is married to Annett. And I think Gaby was actually her step-daughter, not her real daughter. The only one I'm not real sure of is Sonja. I really liked this skater. Too bad injuries prevented her from continuing. She actually had more finesse than Errath, but not the triple.

Wait a minute. Once Sandra posted that Sonja was one of three women considered to be the first to have landed a triple jump. So did she not have a triple? Since Errath had triples, how did Dorothy Hamill win in '76? What about the other woman--Dianne de Lieuww (sp?)? Was she a good free skater who had triples? -- Billy Kutulas gt78...@prism.gatech.edu

My two cents worth. I was just getting into skating at the time but I remember Errath had "a" triple, the toe loop (correct me if I'm wrong). She fell once in the Olympics, I think she ran into the side of the rink (does anyone else remember this). Dorothy simply had a superior program. Back then there was not so much emphasis on the jumps. The overall skater had a better chance of winning. Dorothy had finished second in the figures (remember those!) and I think first in the short program. She was just so artistically talented that it didn't matter that she was not doing triples.
