 Anett Pötzsch (born 3 June 1960) is a retired German figure skater. She was an Olympic Champion, two-time world champion, four-time European champion and five-time East German champion. Her first name is sometimes incorrectly spelled "Annett." The old East German newspapers always spelled it with a single 'n'. [edit] BiographyPötzsch was born in Karl-Marx-Stadt, GDR (today renamed Chemnitz, Germany). She represented the GDR (East Germany) in the ladies events at international championships. She was the world champion in 1978 and 1980 and Olympic Champion in 1980. She also won the European title four times, from 1977 to 1980; and the East German title five times, from 1976 to 1980. Her coach was Jutta Müller. Pötzsch married to Axel Witt, the brother of fellow German figure skater Katarina Witt. The couple has a child named Claudia Rauschenbauch, who became a German figure skating champion in pair skating. Anett Pötzsch's second husband was Axel Rauschenbach, a former German champion in pair skating, who became Claudia's stepfather. Pötzsch works now as a coach in Chemnitz, Germany. She is also an international judge for figure skating and an ISU technical specialist. She was interested in participating in ice skating shows after her amateur career, but that was impossible due to the political system in East Germany at the time. [edit] Results
