Anja Scherl (born 12 April 1986) is a German long distance runner who specialises in the marathon. She competed in the women's marathon event at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[1]
Scherl finished well in the marathon but her success was overshadowed by Anna and Lisa Hahner who controversially crossed the finishing line together at position 81 and 82. They were accused of trying to attract media attention and they did get more coverage than Scherl.[2]
