Timeline
Christa Luding-Rothenburger ( Rothenburger, born 4 December 1959) is a former speed skater and track cyclist.
She was born in Weißwasser, East Germany.
Luding is one of the few athletes who have competed in both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, and the first female to win a medal in both the Summer and Winter Games.
In 1980, she was convinced by her coach, Ernst Luding (whom she would marry after the 1988 Winter Olympics), to take up cycling during the off-season.
First she was told to stick to skating, but finally the president of the East German sports federation gave her permission to enter international cycling competitions.
At the World Sprint Championships in speed skating, she became world champion twice (in 1985 and 1988), won silver twice (in 1986 and 1989), and won 4 bronze medals (in 1979, 1983, 1987 and 1992).
She has also won the 500 m World Cup 3 times (in 1986, 1988 and 1989) and the 1000 m World Cup once (in 1988).
At the 1986 World Cycling Championships, she won track cycling gold in the women's sprint and silver the following year.
This made her the second woman (after Sheila Young) to become world champion in both speed skating and cycling.
In October 1986, she was awarded a Star of People's Friendship in gold (second class) for her sporting success.
She is the only athlete to win Winter and Summer Olympic medals in the same year (1988), a feat that is no longer possible due to the staggering of the Winter and Summer Olympic years.
In speed skating, she is a two-time Olympic gold medallist, while she is an Olympic silver medallist in cycling.
In 1988, she earned the distinction of being the only athlete to win Summer and Winter Olympic medals in the same year.
It also made her the first woman, and the third athlete overall, to win a medal in both the Summer and Winter Olympics.
At the Winter Games in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, she won the gold medal in the 1000 m speed skating event and silver in the 500 m. Seven months later, she won the silver medal in the (1000 m) sprint in track cycling at the Summer Games in Seoul, South Korea.
Before the German reunification in 1990, Luding competed for East Germany – afterwards for Germany.
For more than 10 years, she was one of the world's best sprinters in speed skating.
After winning a bronze medal at the 1992 World Sprint Championships (in which she was unable to win any of the 4 distances), Luding-Rothenburger ended her speed skating career.
