[edit] Biography

She skated for the club SC Karl-Marx-Stadt and was representing the GDR (East-Germany). Her coach was her mother Jutta Müller.

Seyfert was a long-time rival of Peggy Fleming (U.S.), but could never win against her.

She was one of the first world famous sport-stars of East Germany. In 1966, after two silver medals at the Europeans and the Worlds, she was voted as “The GDR female athlete of the year”. 1968 she became the first woman to land a clean triple Loop.

In 1970 she finished her figure skating career surprisingly. Her daughter Sheila was born in 1972. Unlike Peggy Fleming she could not skate for the ice revue Holiday on Ice. The offers made by Holiday on Ice were refused by East German authorities.

At first Seyfert worked as a coach. In this position she worked together with the very talented skater Anett Pötzsch. Due to the East German coach hierarchy Anett Pötzsch was transferred to the group of Jutta Müller. Totally frustrated about that Gabriele Seyfert quit from being a coach and studied languages at the university and worked as a professional translator. From 1985 to 1991 she led the ice ballet at the Friedrichstadtpalast in East Berlin, where she also skated occasionally. After this ice ballet was closed she became customer supporter in a service industry business in Berlin. She lives now in Berlin-Karow.
