[[File:Tora Berger.jpg|thumb|Tora Berger]]

At the 2008 World Championship, she received three 4th places, before earning the silver medal in the mass start.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

On 18 February 2010, she became the first Norwegian woman to win an Olympic gold medal in biathlon by winning the women's 15&nbsp;km individual at the [[2010 Winter Olympics]] in Vancouver. By doing this, she won Norway's 100th Olympic gold medal at the [[Winter Olympic Games]], as well as winning the 10th Norwegian biathlon gold medal. This historic medal makes Norway the first ever nation to win 100 gold medals at the Winter Olympic Games.<ref name=olympics />

At the [[Biathlon World Championships 2012]] in [[Ruhpolding]], Berger took two golds in the [[Biathlon World Championships 2012 – Women's individual|15 km individual]] and the [[Biathlon World Championships 2012 – Women's mass start|12.5 km mass start]].<ref name=olympics />

At the [[Biathlon World Championships 2013]] in Nove Mesto, she won medals in every event she entered,<ref name=olympics /> taking gold in the mixed relay, silver in the sprint and gold in the pursuit before becoming the first woman to defend her 15k individual title. She followed this up with a stunning final-leg performance in the relay, making up a deficit of nearly 40 seconds on the leaders to take another gold medal, before taking silver in the mass start. As the holder of 18 world championship medals she is second in the table of total medals, one medal behind [[Uschi Disl]].  At the same championships, she also became the first biathlete (male or female) to win 6 medals at a single biathlon world championships, with four golds and two silvers.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}}

Berger competed in [[Biathlon at the 2014 Winter Olympics]] in [[Sochi]] where she won 3 medals. Gold in the  [[Biathlon at the 2014 Winter Olympics – Mixed relay|Mixed relay]] together with [[Tiril Eckhoff]], [[Ole Einar Bjørndalen]] and [[Emil Hegle Svendsen]], a silver in the [[Biathlon at the 2014 Winter Olympics – Women's pursuit|Women's Pursuit]], and a silver in the [[Biathlon at the 2014 Winter Olympics – Women's relay|Women's relay]].<ref name=olympics />

==IBU World Cup==
Although Tora Berger had been part of the Norwegian women's biathlon team since 1999, up until the end of the 2011–12 season she had never been the world cup winner either overall or in any of the individual disciplines. Her highest finish was third in the overall standings in the 2008–09 and 2011–12 seasons, second in the Pursuit discipline in the 2008–09 season, and second in the Mass Start discipline in the 2011–12 season.

Success came in the 2012–13 World Cup season, with Tora taking 11 wins and missing the podium only seven times. Her 19 podium finishes equalled [[Magdalena Forsberg]]'s record for the highest number of podium finishes in a single season. She won all three races at Oslo Holmenkollen to secure the crystal globes for both the Overall women's world cup and the Pursuit discipline.  By the end of the season she had also won the crystal globe for the Individual, Sprint and Mass Start disciplines, completing a clean sweep of the five women's crystal globes (a feat last achieved by [[Magdalena Forsberg]] in the 2001–02 season). With Berger's contribution, Norway also won the 2012/13 season's Women's Nation Cup, Women's Relay Cup and Mixed Relay Cup.
