2011 Bavarian OpenChristopher Berneck (born July 10, 1992 in Bad Saeckingen, Germany) is a German figure skater. He is the 2011 Senior German Bronze Medalist. He is also the 2004 Novice National Champion, and 2008 and 2010 Junior German Bronze Medalist. Christopher started skating in 1998 at the ice rink in Herrischried, Black Forest, Germany. He initially competed for the EHC Herrischried. In 1999 Christopher and his family moved to Garmisch-Partenkirchen where he trained with Wolfgang Danne and Harold Williams. He competed for the SC Riessersee. During his time in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Christopher competed in the European Criterium events and won the 2001/02 Cubs Boys overall category, winning all three events he competed in, including the Helmut Seibt Memorial, where US skater Keegan Messing placed third in the same category. In 2001 Christopher returned to his home town, Görwihl, and trained at the Stuttgart training center, competing for the TUS Eissport-Stuttgart, before he went to Berlin in 2003. He trained with Romy Oesterreich at the Sportforum Hohenschoenhausen until 2007, when the family moved to Wilmington, Delaware, USA. Christopher is known for difficult and creative positions in his spins, such as the "I" spin position which Sasha Cohen popularized.
