Janet's progress stalled in 2011, as his seasonal best of 76.40 m was slightly short of his lifetime best. However, he performed well in international competition, defending his title at the 2011 CAC Championships and placed fifth at the Pan American Games. He won the 2012 Cuban Championships with a then personal best throw of 77.08 m. He won his second gold medal at the 2012 Ibero-American Championships and also won at the IAAF Centenary meet in Havana. He was selected for the Cuban team for the 2012 London Olympics but did not reach the final.
