Stars on ice - by and with Katarina Witt was a German figure skating show that was broadcast from October 2006 to February 2008 on the TV station ProSieben . It was a licensed implementation of the US format Skating with Celebrities .

concept

In the show, several celebrities, each with a dance partner, professional or successful figure skaters, competed against each other in ice dances .

In each episode, the celebrities and their partners performed a live ice dance. The judges then evaluated the capacity with A and B grades for the traditional 6.0 scoring system the ISU for skating . Each juror awarded an A grade for the technical execution and the difficulty of the dance as well as a B grade for the artistic expression. Each grade could be awarded between 0.0 and 6.0 in steps of 0.1 points. All performances were then sorted in a ranking list. The placements were then given increasing points: the last placed received one point, the penultimate two points and so on. The television viewers also voted by televoting , i.e. by telephone and SMS. Points were awarded using the same judging method: the couple with the fewest calls received one point, the couple with the second fewest calls received two points, and so on. The jury and spectator ratings were added up for the total number of points that the final ranking list determined to determine the lowest-placed couple.

The couple with the lowest overall rating had to leave the show.

After leaving the show, the professional figure skaters appeared in the following episodes with show performances.
