Anja Kosan (born 12 December 2002) is a German rhythmic gymnast.[1] She won silver in the senior team category at the 2022 World Championships.
In mid-2021 she moved from Berlin to Schmiden in Germany in order to train and study at the national gymnastics training centre, trying to achieve her dream of competing at the 2024 Olympic Games. "I didn't have to worry about finding accommodation either. I moved into a shared flat provided by the STB. The move was a little less stressful for me thanks to the help of my family. The new life at university was a bit difficult for me at first, as it is very different from school. In the meantime, however, I find my way around very well."[2]
