Early life

Career

Beginnings

After winning several German championship titles for students, Breuer moved to Augsburg in 2009 to take advantage of the first-class training opportunities at the "Federal Performance Center for Canoe Slalom and Whitewater", home to the Augsburg Eiskanal. As a member of the Augsburg Kayak Club, he was named “Athlete of the Year” by the Bavarian Canoe Association in 2011. At just 15 years old, he qualified for the German U18 national team and competed with the team in the World and the European Championships since 2012.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Florian Breuer” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Florian, Breuer and German provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q47004301. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1997, 2012, 2020 and 2009.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
