Berta Miquel (born 26 March 2006) is an Andorran individual rhythmic gymnast. She represents her country in international competitions and is the first Andorran gymnast to qualify for a final at an International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) competition.

Personal life

Miquel participated in several sports as a child and took up gymnastics at age six after having seen the World Gymnaestrada. She chose rhythmic gymnastics because she thought it was more elegant and would allow her to perform more. She began to train more intensively at age 12, and she trains seven hours a day most days of the week.

Career

Miquel's first major competition was the 2020 European Championships in Kyiv, where she computed as a junior. She finished 23rd in the all-around.

She debuted as a senior gymnast at the 2022 World Cup in Pamplona. She was 26th in the all-around. A month later, she took part in the European Championships in Tel Aviv with teammate Maria Gonzalez. She ended in 57th place in the all-around with her best result being 44th with ribbon.

In August, she competed at the World Cup in Cluj-Napoca, ending 40th in the all-around. The next month, she competed at the World Gymnastics Championships in Sofia, and was 70th place in the all-around.

Miquel competed at the 2023 European Championships, where she placed 53rd. At the 2023 World Championships in Valencia, she finished in 73rd place.

In April 2024, Miquel became the first Andorran gymnast to qualify for a final in a FIG competition at the Ritam Cup in Belgrade, where she qualified for the ribbon final. She went on to compete at the European Championships and finished in 58th place.

The next year, in May, Miquel competed at the 2025 Games of the Small States of Europe, held in her home country. She won three silver medals, one in the all-around and two in the ball and ribbon apparatus finals. She expressed surprise at having won the medals, as she had not expected to be in medal contention. The next month, she competed at the European Championships, where she placed 54th. In August, she participated to the 2025 World Championships in Rio de Janeiro, placing 68th in the all-around and getting her best score with hoop.

Her 2026 international season started with her participation at the World Cup in Sofia in March, where she placed 74th in the all-around. In May, she competed at the European Cup in Baku, finishing 39th all-around. At the end of May, she competed at the European Championships in Varna, placing 66th in the all-around.
