It starts for the WSV Oberhof 05 . The customs officer is currently studying at a distance university . Your trainers are or were, among others, Alfred Wollschläger , Herbert Wiegand , Manfred Geyer and Harald Böse .

Jenny Adler was exceptionally successful as a junior, but was only rarely able to confirm this success with the seniors. Her first Junior World Championships were in 2001 in Khanty-Mansiysk . Here she won gold in the pursuit, silver in the sprint and bronze with the relay, which also included Romy Beer . The following year in Ridnaun she won again silver in the sprint, gold in the pursuit and this time also with the relay (among others with Ute Niziak ). In 2003 their only junior title fights were without a gold medal. In Kościelisko she still won silver with the team. In the sprint as fifth and fourth in the pursuit, she still achieved good placements. Your last world championships were in Haute-Maurienne in 2005 . In the sprint she finished sixth, but won all other races: individual, pursuit and the relay, which Magdalena Neuner also belonged to. Further successes in the junior sector were winning the overall junior European Cup in 2000/01, 2001/02 and 2003/04. She was German junior champion in 2001 (sprint), 2002 (sprint and pursuit) and 2004 (individual). In addition, he won the individual and relay titles at the 2002 Junior European Championships.

In 2001, Adler was used for the first time in a European Cup sprint in Ridnaun and came third. Her first of a total of ten victories in the European Cup races (including one with the relay) she achieved in 2003. In 2005, Adler came to Ruhpolding for the first time in the Biathlon World Cup and was 36th in the sprint and 22nd in the pursuit. It was to remain her best World Cup result until she was allowed to compete in the last World Cup station of the 2006/07 season in Khanty-Mansiysk as one of the ten best-placed starters from the European Cup and was 14th in the sprint. Until the end of her career, she was repeatedly used in the World Cup, but could not establish herself there permanently because of the strong national competition; mostly she competed in the European Cup. Adler never took part in world championships, but did in European championships: At the 2002 European championships in Kontiolahti , Adler won gold in the junior singles and in the junior relay together with Barbara Ertl and Katharina Echter . In 2005 in Novosibirsk she missed a medal with the relay as fourth. In 2006 in Langdorf she reached third place with the relay (with Magdalena Neuner, Katja Beer and Sabrina Buchholz ). In the following year another relay silver medal was added in Bansko , and also in 2008 in Nove Mesto.

In 2008 she officially announced her retirement from active sports.
