Her biography is available in 19 different languages on Wikipedia. Janine Flock is the 3,979th most popular athlete, the 1,279th most popular biography from Austria and the 47th most popular Austrian Athlete.

Janine Flock is most famously known as the Austrian skeleton racer who won gold in the women's event at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, claiming Austria's first-ever Olympic gold (and first medal) in women's skeleton after finishing 9th (2014), 4th (2018), and 10th (2022) in her previous three Games. The 36-year-old veteran dominated with four consistent runs, setting a track record early and securing a wire-to-wire victory, making her the oldest women's skeleton Olympic medalist ever. Surprisingly, despite a long career of near-misses—including heartbreaking Olympic and World Championship results without a world title—she finally achieved her "dream" gold in her fourth attempt, capping a 27-year journey in the high-speed, head-first sport.
