Sylvie Christine Wirth (born 6 September 1994 in Arisdorf) is a Swiss individual and synchronised trampolinist who represents Switzerland in international competitions.

She took up artistic gymnastics at the age of seven and switched to trampolining aged 13. She had to stop competing in artistic gymnastics due to knee problems. She thought about retiring but her trainer and teammates encouraged her to switch to trampolining. She made her senior international debut for Switzerland in 2010 at the World Cup in St. Petersburg. Since 2013 she has been part of the Swiss national team. She competed at world championships, including at the 2013, 2014 and 2015 Trampoline World Championships.[1][2] She also participated at the 2015 European Games in Baku.
