Biography

Annabel Breuer was born on 23 October 1992.

paraplegic as a result of an automotive accident when she was a child.[3]

Breuer started playing

2012 Summer Paralympic Games in London.[8]

Breuer attended the Paralympics in London, but as a wheelchair basketball player rather than as a fencer.[3] She was introduced to the sport by a friend, and spotted by a national trainer.[9] Breuer played for Sabines Ulm, where she was the only woman on a mixed gender side. She is classified as a 1.5 point player, but women get a 1.5 point bonus when playing on a mixed team, making her in effect a zero-point player. Her classification, along with her high technical acumen, means that she is a valuable asset on any team.[10]

Breuer was part of the German national team which won gold at the 2011 European Championships in Nazareth, Israel, defeating the Netherlands in the final, 48–42.

North Greenwich Arena to win the gold medal,[13] They were awarded another Silver Laurel Leaf by President Joachim Gauck in November 2012,[15] and were again named Team of the Year for 2012.[16] In a ceremony in Ulm, Breuer was congratulated by the Lord Mayor, Ivo Gönner, and her name was entered in the Golden Book of the city.[17] In December 2012, it was announced that in addition to playing for second division Sabres Ulm, she would also play for five-time Champions League winning first division club RSV Lahn-Dill in 2013.[18]
