Janine Berger (born 21 April 1996) is a German artistic gymnast.[1] In 2012 she began competing among seniors and was selected for the 2012 Summer Olympics, where her team was placed ninth.[2]
Individually she competed in the vault, uneven bars and floor exercise, but failed to reach the finals in the last two events. In the vault she performed a Rudi (handspring 1.5-twisting layout) and a double-twisting Tsukahara, with difficulty ratings of 6.3 and 6.0, respectively. Her first vault, officially named Chusovitina in the Code of Points but more commonly known as Rudi, had a good height and amplitude, but excessive piking of the hips in the final phase led to an uncontrolled landing. Berger finished fourth behind Russia's Maria Paseka.[2]
In early 2014, she returned to gymnastics after a year's break in 2013 following an injury. She won the vault competition at the Turnier De Meister World Cup in Cottbus, Germany.
