Alors qu’il ne devait initialement pas être présent à Montpellier pour la Ligue des champions de judo, le quintuple champion olympique de judo Teddy Riner sera finalement bien là au FDI Stadium avec le PSG, samedi 21 décembre.

It's the chef's surprise: while he was not due to return to competition until February 2025 at the Paris Grand Slam, Teddy Riner will be in Montpellier this Saturday, December 21 to compete in the Judo Champions League with his club PSG.

“This Friday, Paris Saint-Germain Judo made official the arrival of a major reinforcement in its European team. Teddy Riner will compete for the most prestigious European title for the third consecutive year under the colors of Paris Saint-Germain”, the capital club announced this Friday.

First fight since the 2024 Paris Olympics

And for good reason, the Guadeloupean colossus had not yet extended his contract with PSG, which ended on August 31. The two parties have clearly found common ground and the five-time Olympic champion will compete in the European mixed team event at the FDI Stadium.

In Montpellier, Riner will in any case be competing in his first fight since the end of the exceptional Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Since the Games, where he won his last two Olympic medals in the +100kg category and in the mixed team event, the Frenchman had not competed in a single fight.
