His contract expired this month but Teddy Riner remains in Paris! The judoka extends his contract with PSG judo until August 2024, i.e. after the Olympic Games in Paris. He announced it this Monday, June 20, 2022.
“It’s obvious, when you’re at home and when you feel good somewhere, you continue the adventure“, told Teddy Riner to France Bleu Paris.
Riner and PSG, it’s a special story. It was in this club that he was formed when he was young. A club that the ten-time world judo champion took over in 2017 to make it what it is today.
Retirement after Paris 2024?
“It was my first steps in judo, it was my first love for a football club. There are no words to say how much I love this club“, rejoices the sportsman. This is where I was born and where I will end up!“
We are not yet talking about retirement. But he is also thinking of the next generation of judokas, who are already making a name for themselves on the tatami mats. PSG have won the French championships (gold for men and women) as well as the Europa League (gold for men and women).
His future, the atmosphere of the club… Find a complete interview with Teddy Riner, with Pia Clemens, in 100% PSG this Tuesday at 6 p.m. on France Bleu Paris.
