Johannes Martin Scheuerl (born 20 November 2002) [2] [3] is a German curler from Oberstdorf. [4]
Scheuerl began curling in around 2014. [5] Scheuerl made his international début at the 2019 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival, where he was the second on the German team, which was skipped by Felix Messenzehl. There, the team finished in sixth place. [6] Scheuerl also played second for German mixed team in the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics. The team, which was skipped by Benjamin Kapp finished in eighth overall. [7]
Scheuerl was a member of the German junior men's team from 2022 to 2024, playing second on the rink, which was skipped by Kapp. The team won silver medals at the 2022 [8] and 2023 World Junior Curling Championships, the latter played on home ice in Füssen. [9] The team did not fare as well at the 2024 World Junior Curling Championships, finishing 5th. [10]
Kapp would join as the lead of the new German team skipped by Marc Muskatewitz during the 2023–24 curling season, alongside junior teammates Kapp and Messenzehl. That season, the team won the 2023 Aberdeen Classic. [11] The team also won the German Men's Curling Championship in 2024, earning the rink the right to represent the country at the 2024 World Men's Curling Championship. [1] It would be a World Championship début for Scheuerl. [12] The new team would have a strong showing at the 2024 World Men's Curling Championships, finishing in 5th place after losing to Italy's Joël Retornaz in the playoffs. However, the team would build upon this success at the 2024 European Curling Championships, they would beat Scotland's Bruce Mouat 9–7 in the final to win Germany's first European medal since 2008, and their first gold since 2004. [13] After winning the European Championships, the team qualified for their first Tier 1 Grand Slam of Curling event, the 2024 National, where they had a strong showing, losing in the quarterfinals to Mike McEwen 6–5. The team also continued to perform well on the world curling circuit, winning the 2024 Karuizawa International Curling Championships. Muskatewtiz would then win the 2025 German Men's Championship against Sixten Totzek, qualifying the Muskatewitz rink to represent Germany at the 2025 World Men's Curling Championship. [14]
