This Monday, the FFJ notably announced the presence of Teddy Riner during the Paris Grand Slam, on February 2, 2025. Among the women, Clarisse Agbégnénou will also be there at the Accor Arena.
If he will not participate in the Champions League with PSG judo on December 21, in Montpellier, the French public will quickly have the chance to see Teddy Riner again on the tatamis. Indeed, the French Judo Federation (FFJ) formalized this Monday the presence of the man who won five gold medals during the Olympic Games at the Paris Grand Slam (February 1 and 2, 2025). Thus, in a few weeks, the famous French judoka (35 years old), who has already resumed training, will return to competition at the Accor Arena in the +100 kg category. Six months after the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the man who lit the cauldron will fight again in the French capital. Currently in negotiations with PSG judo to extend his contract (which expired last August), hence his absence in the Champions League, Riner will not be the only visible attraction on the Bercy side.
