In an emotional display of strength and skill, French judo icon Teddy Riner claimed his historic fourth Olympic gold medal in the highly competitive +100kg division at the Paris 2024 Olympics. This remarkable feat not only makes Riner the first judoka in history to reach four golds but also solidifies his reputation as judo’s most decorated athlete, with a staggering six Olympic medals to his name. As he stepped into the spotlight at the Champs-de-Mars Arena, the air was electric with anticipation, and the French fans were primed for a celebration of epic proportions.
Riner faced tough competition on his path to glory, including a nail-biting final against South Korea's Kim Min-yong, which kept spectators on the edge of their seats. With breathtaking agility and jaw-dropping technique, Riner overcame the challenge, delivering a performance that sent the home crowd into fits of joy. Fans waved flags, shouted his name, and roared in unison as Riner secured his impressive victory, proving once again why he is beloved in his home country and beyond.
The evening was further enriched by the presence of Romane Dicko, who clinched a bronze medal in the women’s +78kg event, adding to the festive atmosphere at the Olympic venue. With two medalists proudly standing on the podium, the sense of national pride reached new heights, making it a day that Paris and its inhabitants will cherish forever. Riner's win was not just a personal triumph; it was a glorious moment for French sportsmanship, a reminder of how sport can bring a nation together in shared celebration.
