On his comeback to the German Championships in 2008, the Berliner took second place behind Clemens Brummer . He finished thirteenth at the European Championships in 2008 in Zagreb , Croatia, where he showed a four-fold toe loop and a three-fold axel in the freestyle (11th place) and was able to advance from his 21st place to 15th place after the short program. At the World Championships in 2008 in Gothenburg , Sweden and in 2009 in Los Angeles , he was eliminated after the short program (places 32 and 25).

In the summer of 2011, Peter Liebers broke his leg again while training in Canada. Because he was several months behind in training, he had to cancel the Grand Prix series.
In 2013, Liebers achieved his best placings at these tournaments with tenth place at the European championship and eleventh place at the world championship .
In 2014 he was able to improve again with sixth place at the European Championships . At the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi , after finishing fifth in the short program, he ran the freestyle in the starting group of the world's best and reached eighth place.
