Career

Athletics

Before cycling, Berlin competed as a long-distance runner for AS Monaco. He holds the Monegasque national records for the 1000 metres, 10,000 metres, 10 km road race and the half marathon.[4] He also competed in the 1500 metres at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics.[5] In 2010, he moved to the United States to compete for East Carolina University, however his training was hindered by injuries.[6]

In 2016, he retired from running after being unable to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics due to a pelvic stress fracture.[7]

Cycling

Berlin took up cycling in May 2017 with the Magnan Bornala Cyclisme team in Nice. In 2020, he turned professional with UCI Continental team Cambodia Cycling Academy at the age of 30.[7] After the team folded at the end of the season, he joined Global 6 Cycling in March 2021.[8] With this team, he notably placed 13th at the Vuelta a Murcia and 8th overall Le Tour de Savoie Mont Blanc. In 2022, he transferred to French team Nice Métropole Côte d'Azur, for their first season at the UCI Continental level.
