Hermann Reitberger (born 21 September 1958) is a German former freestyle skier, specializing in ski ballet. He is the 1989 World Champion in this now-defunct discipline and won the demonstrational ski ballet event at the 1988 Winter Olympics. Reitberger achieved 44 World Cup victories in his career and won the ski ballet Crystal Globe 5 times, which makes him the most successful male World Cup skier in this discipline.[2] He is also a four-time European Champion in ski ballet, winning the title in 1982, 1985, 1987 and 1990.
