Janine Pietsch (born June 30, 1982 in Berlin ) is a German swimmer . Her home club is SC Delphin Ingolstadt and she is currently training the youth team of SG Stadtwerke München .

Career

She celebrated her first successes in 1997/98 at the European Junior Championships in the freestyle discipline. In the following years she also won several titles over the distances of 50 m and 100 m at German short course championships. With two World Cup successes in 2001 it became clear that the backstroke on the short distances is her specialty. In the German Short Course Championships in 2003 but finished in the butterfly style and over 100 m documents the first place.

A year later she qualified for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens with two German championship titles over 50 m and 100 m back .

She came into the public eye in May 2005 when she surprisingly set a new world record over 50 m back at the 117th German Swimming Championships in Berlin . With her best time of 28.19 seconds, she was considered a promising candidate for a medal at the 2005 World Championships in Montreal , where she only finished sixth in this discipline. Her world record was only broken two years later by the US swimmer Leila Vaziri at the 2007 World Swimming Championships in Melbourne .

The international breakthrough came at the Short Course World Championships in 2006 in Shanghai , where she in a new German record time over 100 meters of 58.02 seconds back won the world title. Just three days later, in the same competition, she reinforced her claim to leadership in back style on the 50m course with a new European record (27.00 seconds) and her second world title. At the European Swimming Championships in Budapest in 2006 , she swam over 50 m back to her first European championship title. She also won bronze over the 100 m back.

In November 2008, she announced that she had breast cancer. Janine Pietsch was able to fight this successfully.

For her open approach to the disease, Janine Pietsch was awarded the now-especially-price in Bavaria in 2009, and in 2010 she was honored with the Health Media Award for her medical commitment .
