Almost perfect day for the French. After the gold medals of Madeleine Malonga and Julia Tolofua, Teddy Riner also brings back the most beautiful charm for the Blues. For his return to the tatamis, the +100 kg judoka won quite easily, without going to the end of his first fights. Only the final was more difficult, against the Japanese Tatsuru Sato, whom he had beaten in the quarter-finals during the 2023 Worlds. This time, the fight went to the end of the clock and Teddy Riner ended up winning on points (1-0).
With six medals, including three gold, France finished second in the nations rankings for this Grand Slam in Antalya, behind Japan and its five gold medals.
