- <p> Ice suffices for Katarina Witt and Brian Boitano. Between
- them, they've skated for 37 years and have three Olympic gold
- medals--two for her, one for him. Starting in April, East
- Germany's Witt, 24, and the U.S.'s Boitano, 26, who met in 1983,
- will be swirling as a pair when they begin touring the world
- with a new show. The two friends, exhibiting fine form last week
- in Manhattan's Central Park, "have good chemistry and an
- emotional connection," says Boitano, but don't share a passion
- to compete. Witt has lost her feeling for pressure-filled
- contests; Boitano hopes to try for the '92 Olympics. Says he:
- "My heart and soul are in competitive skating."
