Debora Annen (born 1 April 2002) is a Swiss bobsledder. She represented Switzerland at the 2026 Winter Olympics.[2] She is the daughter of Martin Annen, a three-time Olympic bronze medalist in bobsleigh.[3] Her brother Tim Annen is also a bobsledder, who was also at the 2026 Olympic games.[4]
Prior to bobsled, Annen participated in handball, and was part of the LK Zug handball team as well as Switzerland's national junior team.[5] However, she was forced to end her handball career at age 18 due to a cartilage growth on her throwing arm that caused excessive pain, despite multiple operations to try to correct.[6]
Annen moved to bobsleigh shortly after the end of her handball career, with her father, Martin, acting as her coach.[6] She began competing in international events in the 2023–24 season and began to find success quickly at the junior level. At the 2024 Junior World Championships, she won the gold medal in monobob and a bronze medal in two-woman.[3][7] She also began competing in World Cup events in 2024. In 2026, Annen earned another gold medal in monobob in the Junior World Championships.[8]
Annen was selected to represent Switzerland at the 2026 Winter Olympics in both monobob and two-woman. She finished 11th in the monobob event and tied for seventh in the two-woman event.[2]
