That day, there was excitement at the Carrefour hypermarket in Pontault-Combault, in Seine-et-Marne. Arms loaded with notebooks or t-shirts bearing the image of the Paris Games, customers wait their turn. At the end of the line, Teddy Riner, pen in hand, displays a broad smile.
Before the signing session, the judoka operated at the drive-thru, discovering the facets of the job of order preparer and delivering the groceries to amazed customers. “It’s an opportunity for nice exchanges that allow me to keep my feet on the ground, I also draw on that to grow,” Teddy Riner tells us. The judoka has already made several appearances in hypermarkets. Sometimes at the drive-thru in Seine-et-Marne, sometimes at the checkout, in Seine-Saint-Denis.
