Anna Janssen (born 8 August 2001) is a German sport shooter. Since 2022, she has won several World Cup victories in both the air rifle and small-caliber three-position competition. In 2022, she became world champion with the team in the 50 m 3 positions competition and was world number one in the 10 m air rifle discipline in 2024.[1] On 15 October 2024, she set the world record for 10 m air rifle with 636.9 rings.[2]

Anna Janssen grew up in the Berendonk neighbourhood of Kevelaer. She started shooting as a child together with her twin sister Franka Janssen, following in the footsteps of her older brother. Her home club is the Schieß-Sport-Gemeinschaft (SSG) Kevelaer. She was encouraged early on by club and state coach Rudi Joosten and was accepted into the Rhineland squad.[3] Janssen made her first appearance at international level in 2017 when she won the silver medal with the air rifle at the Junior World Championships in Suhl. In 2018, she became the European junior champion in Győr in the individual and team competitions. She also took part in the 2018 Summer Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, where she finished fourth in the air rifle.[4] In the following years, Janssen celebrated further successes in the junior field and became a two-time world champion with the small-caliber rifle (in prone shooting and the mixed three-position competition with Max Braun) at her last title competitions as a junior in Lima in 2021.[5]
