At the age of six, Berger started cross-country skiing, but during his
teens he decided to try out the biathlon. Berger joined the national
biathlon team in 2001. During the 2004 Biathlon World Championships in

x 7.5 km relay. Berger also won two gold medals in the military world
championships that same year. Berger finished fifth in the 2004 overall
World Cup, and won several gold medals from the Norwegian Biathlon
Championships. At the 2007 Biathlon World Championships in
Rasen-Antholz, Italy, Berger was part of the Norwegian team that won
silver in the 4 x 7.5 km relay. After several disappointing races,
mainly due to unstable shooting, Berger was thrown off the Norwegian
national team ahead of the 2008/2009 season
