Ice Skating: Witt in the Wembley limelight

Katarina Witt preparing at Wembley Arena yesterday for her first appearance in Britain in a professional ice show. 'Banjos and Balalaikas' opened at Wembley last night and will run until 28 February. Witt, who won two Olympic skating gold medals for East Germany, will learn next week if she will be allowed to reclaim her amateur status and try for a third gold at Lillehammer in 1994.
