Teddy Riner and Clarisse Agbégnénou went for gold at the Grand Slam in Paris, organized in Bercy from February 2 to 4. In a sort of dress rehearsal for French judo before Paris, many others stood out, particularly on the women’s side.
Double Olympic heavyweight champion Teddy Riner won the Paris Grand Slam on Sunday February 4 for the eighth time, a record which perfectly launches his year less than six months before the Olympic Games. The 34-year-old Frenchman, who won in the final against South Korean Kim Min-jong, made his return to the tatamis in individual competition, nine months after his eleventh world champion title in Doha, Qatar.
« That’s done, Riner said. I wanted to come, it’s a review “. In six months, on August 2, he could add, in this same room, a third individual Olympic coronation to an already extraordinary list of achievements. In the meantime, he fulfilled his contract in front of his thousands of fans at Bercy, where he was the favorite, and scored important points in the Olympic rankings with a view to being seeded at the Olympics.
