This dude is a killing machine. I was watching his interview as he was arriving in Guadeloupe 2 days after the Olympics. The journalist asked him what's next? He said I am on holiday forba month then I ll get back to train. Train for what? asked the journalist . His answer was LA 2028
I mean not that long ago I saw him for what he still was: a very young man. I even remember when he was interviewed about him still being in highschool and stuff. A street and a gymnasium in my neighbourhood are named after him. He legits deserves the legend status, but everybody knows that already.
If he was Japanese, everyone would say that he is the undisputed GOAT. But because he’s French and black, some people attempt to undermine his success by saying that he is just tall and strong.
Haters will hate But hate as mush as you want, he will be remembered as the greatest in history in his categorie and the 3 olympic gold medal will stay at his home.
I like reading the comments of haters or losers stuck in amateur judo who say that he is just big and strong but in this case why does no country in the world line up a guy of his weight and height with the same technique for all these years? Strange that there is only one guy like him who is so strong and his weight and size are absolutely nothing rare in the world of Judo. In short, stop your excuses with your "he's just big and strong". Bunch of loser who can handle than this guy is the goat of history in Judo period.
@@jimmyboe8246 There was once a Polish Judoka who was almost as big and much heavier. He was good and defeated (even eliminated) two top Asians who beat Riner in high youth or junior age. He had a lack of conditioning.
Yeah, people don't realize he isn't just tall and strong, he is athletic, fast for his size AND technical. But you know, haters will always find lame excuses
@jimmyboe8246 Now, yes. But Neil Adams was right before when he accused him, like others, not to have played the right game: "Win with ippon or lose with ippon but make an ippon." All his finals in Paris now corrected this understandable impression that he played the normal boring game which began with Hitoshi Saito, interrupted by Keijji Suzuki. What did even Satoshi Ishii? They rarely tried serious attacks, they went over the tatami, they destroyed the grip of the opponents and when they were heavy enough, like Hitoshi Saito they pushed the opponent to the end of the tatami until he had to leave it. At the end they knew about the champion bonus and won by decision or by penalties. The Japanese punished Teddy therefore when they added the open class, as in the past, (even if they declared this another championship) in the weight class programme of the world championships in Tokyo 2010. He lost in the final against a fat second class Japanese by decision. They ignored his champion bonus which is similar to that of Muhammad Ali. But also Ali convinced the world of spectators when he knocked Foreman out (ko in "Rumble in the Jungle". By the way the Japanese were angry about Teddy devaluing the All Japan open, which was considered stronger than the world championships and Olympic Games for the Japanese when he smoked not only the Japanese elites in a real "All world" open in 2008 (Satoshi was already away with his olympic gold medal without ever meeting Teddy). He destroyed the Japanese judo might after Anton Geesink and Wim Ruska, who had even to win both gold medals (heavy and open) in München at the Olympics 1972. In the meantime Yoshiro Yamashita polished the Japanese reputation not just because of his higher bodyweight (Yamashita made of course profit from his champion bonus against his younger and heavier successor Hitoshi Saito).
Even I, as an extremely casual, even almost totally ignorant when it comes to judo, knows he's not where he is by chance. He is simply the greatest. We hardly can realize what he managed to achieve.
He s clearly on of the best Judoka of all the time and the best by far in last decade. Difficult to compare as rules evolve. He benefits of a massive power, a sharp equilibrium and perfect reading of fight.
3 médailles d'or olympique en individuel (+2 en bronze) + 2 titres olympique par équipe; 11 titre de champion du Monde dans la catégorie reine.

The question is who had won head to head? Teddy Riner vs. Yoshiro Yamashita Teddy Riner vs Hitoshi Saito who stopped Yamashita's career. Teddy Riner vs. Satoshi Ishii? A joke?
@@JD-ww2ri He is a tall model athlete with a respectable upper body and arms. However to be tall has advantages and disadvantages. His body is also show. A lot of black athletes like this. He has less problems with fighters between 90 kg and 115 kg. However he has problems with technical strong athletes that are smaller but heavier. Hitoshi Saito had a stronger lower body and this is important in judo and weightlifting as well. The taller guys must fight more with long legs. They have a higher point of gravity. They must try to break the balance in around the vertical axis or break in the back direction. The smaller heavier guys have a low point of gravity. So they are difficult to lift. And they try to go under the gravity point of the tall guys and break the balance around the horizontal axis. The lighter guys normally have more endurance and they can change the position very fast. The heavy guys fight more static and then explosively the lighter guys are more dynamic in their general movements. If Riner were as fat as Yoshiro Yamashita or Hitoshi Saito he should weigh 160 to 175 kg. I don't think that he could fight with a body like Tatsuro Saito. He would weigh 180 to 190 kg. Tatsuro Saito won the All Japan Open weight. So he must be good. However he lost against much smaller but strong guys when they took him over the time. I think he is finished after 3 minutes if he doesn't reach a point. He seemed unconscious when he lost. The really heavy guys must save force during the fight. In boxing this is fairly impossible. However in boxing long arms are an advantage to save force and damage.
@@martinlaser7819 Tatsuru Saito is not stronger than Riner.Bodyweight is not the point.He needs to change his judo if he wants to fight the europeans sucessfully.
The question (not only in social media) is always the same. Why does Riner not enter the MMA, as he is much more impressive than Satoshi Ishii, who is 2 years older and gave the impression that he was better than Riner?
Maybe because he don't care? I mean... how would that be relevant to him? The time you spend training for MMA is time you lose for your judo competitions. They're not the same sports and the stakes aren't the same.
@@rptyler8844 OK in MMA the opponents can discuss about the shapes of the fights and the fighters. A man if 160-200 kg maybe more impressive. However if the same loses on the matt or tatami against an athletic and well trained opponent of 90-140 kg because he can't move anymore the spectators lough. Bob Sapp was pulled and pushed to the K1 final. Then he even lost against Pudianowski, a strongman who was a not remarkable boxer. He made his most money with fights against the Sumo Yokozuma Akebono. Cro Cop executed Bob Sapp and also Satoshi, whose boxing and striking skills are not comparable. Fedor was the best: Judo, Sambo, Jiu-jitsu and - Combat Sambo. The Gracies just pulled to the ground and they avoided fights out of America.
@@rptyler8844 I don't think that "The Mountain" would have had any chance against Valuyev. It doesn't matter that all the two would crash me because I am just a fan but beating to the clown Eddie Hall doesn't mean that he could have also beaten Valuyev. Thor is a talented boxer but Valuyev was a serious opponent for the world's best boxers not only because of his long arms and his body mass which both count in boxing, however he was also skilled.
He is surely the most successful male judoka of all time. However, I am not a fan of his style, based on his athletics, not the technical skills and fighting spirit. Also, IMHO IJF had spent the mass of efforts in order to keep him as "unbeatable" .
He puts the effort, IJF can't do nothing if anotehr guy make him fall. And just because he is strong , some guys like you think he is only strong. He delivered some of the best ippons seen in the heavy weight division, some by attacking straight, some by counters, some in action/reaction... He is very technical, you can't lift and throw 120 kg guys by counting on big arms, if you think it's possible, I wonder what judo gyms you've been to.
I want to say something else. Judo is comparable with amateur boxing. I don't want to say that the Cuban boxers are not "professional" - they never worked besides in the ring or the gymn. However Teolphilo Steveson (RIP) or Felix Savon (there were some more in lighter weight classes, I don't remember the names) never turned to professional boxing, which is not the same. In Grappling or MMA it is the same and. Pro Wrestling is not comparable. The World Champion in Wrestling Wilfried Dietrich (RIP) extremely strong (maybe under steroids like yhe Sowjets) said that he didn't see any inrichment for himself in this sport. Just read the stories of Willem Ruska's wife (Wim Ruska RIP). Anton Geesink (RIP) - 10th Dan (not Kodokan) - took part in such a sh .t. Wim Ruska traeined with "Hulk Hogan" in Miami before his methamorphis. Wim Ruska however wanted to challenge André the Giant.
FAUX LA CATÉGORIE EN JUDO LA PLUS DIFFICILE C'EST 83 KILOGRAMMES POURQOI? CAR C'EST DANS CETTE CATÉGORIE OÙ IL Y A LE PLUS DE CANDIDATS DOC OULA CONCURRENCE EST BEAUCOURPLYS DIFFICILE 10 FOIS PLUS JE DIRAI .C'EST UN ANCIEN JUDOKA QUI VOUS ENVOICE MESSAGE. VOUS POUVEZ ME CROIRE
Imagine Riner under steroids. His transformation would be great. Original professional sport is not drug tested. Drug tests derive from the former Western amateur ethics.
Ce qui ne nous tue pas nous rend plus fort. Mes ancêtres ont combattu en 1244 en France et ont gagné à la bataille de Bouvines. Il me semble que personne ne peut donner une leçon à celui qui perd une bataille. Saito est le meilleur judoka techniquement, et il a toutes les qualités pour le faire. Il n'est pas encore préparé mentalement. Le jour où ce serait fait, personne ne pourra le battre. Konnichiwa.
In fact, the only one he's had a quarrel with is known to have quite bad attitude. He even hurled insults at Teddy. Terry didn't respond to his provocations and left it at that. Otherwise, Teddy has always had immense respect for Japanese judokas. Moreover, even if France won against Japan in team judo (a Japanese sport), the Japanese won against the French in fencing (a French sport). What I mean is that it's no disgrace to lose to another country in a sport invented by your own nation. It's happened to every country in the world, and it's likely to happen again and again. To conclude, Japan was the 3rd best nation at the Olympics, ahead of Australia and France. You can be proud of your nation and your athletes, they did a fantastic performance.
Yes. Because leg grabs are prohibited only when rinner is on the mat. And also because before leg grabs where prohibited he only was 1 time junior european champion, 1 time european champion, two times junior world champion, 3 times world champion and had only grab one olympic medal. He was clearly a poor judoka at that time... Or, you don't know what you're talking about.
@@pierrelaroche5134 He is taller than everybody else. Have longger arms. He dominates kumikata because of that and because he doesnt have to worry about the atacks he would suffer if lag grabing were allowed. Proportions and rules favored him. Being very good before the rule changing doesn't garantees he would have been the best of all time, which is my point. Your point of view is just that: your point of view. Beeing rude dont make your argument better.
@@AndreLCFigueiredo still better than no argument. You say that if that rule was still there he wouldn't have succeded as well. You don't know and the only clue we have tends to tell us the opposite. You wanting him not to be as good as he his doesn't make an argument at all.
Cheer~~~a sport of unarmed combat derived from jujitsu and intended to train the body and mind. It involves using holds and leverage to unbalance the opponent.😁
So that's the thing. he's french. He beats every single judoka for 20 years in a row but meeh. You know, he's french. I read in a book that some guys were better...
Hmmmmm... Yamashita was better technicaly. He as a very good ne-wasa and a counter attack. If Teddy Riner was not so tall and so stong, he will never dominate this sport
@@DocteurInfierno Japanese are used to walk from the abdomen (they don't use the word "hara" as Europeans think). They use the elbows more than the hands.
@@DocteurInfierno Groundwork in judo is over. Just one choke maybe, then "Mate'. This was good in the times of "Opa Schutte" and now the Gracie family has developed this then. Fedor Emilianenko is very polyvalent. Striking, Judo, Sambo and groundwork. Cro Cop was a That boxer with catch ground work based on strikes.
The Japanese have a Sumo style, the Russians have a Sambo style. The Russians work more with their strong upper body, the Japanese with their strong equalized underbody. - Try keiza and and seiza and from there from to the knees and up against and then walking from the hip and never move the point of gravity. The Sumos may create a lot of total body force from there. They don't change their posture. You must train this. Theory does not make sense alone.
@@DocteurInfierno Why Yamashita der "judo-god"? Judo-Legenden gibt es viele. And perhaps Saito was ahead when he stopped his career. However in contrast to Saito, Douillet or Teddy Riner he always gave his best and showed judo instead of going over the time. His "head to head" results given by Snijders are amazing. And he beat all his lighter European judo legends after one or two minutes. He seemed not to show any fear or preoccupation to lose. (At least for the spectators - a pure Japanese). If you read the Dutch stories combined especially combined with the rivalry between Geesink (Utrecht) and Amsterdam you read open that the Dutch had to respect fixed fights. Ruska often had to accept disadvantages.
ua-cam.com/video/tqexGq_PBMg/v-deo.htmlsi=_LwljM_f0pQxw5NO You see how strong Saito was in his point of gravity. Of course here he pressed his tall opponent slowly out of the mat. Yamashita made ippons instead
I think lots of people forget the essence of Judo. Judo means "Gentle way". In French, Judo means "voie de la souplesse", which can be translated as "way of flexibility". Choose which traduction you like the most. Anyway, this is not Judo. This is pure strenght, and limited technique. The sixth first movements shown here are the same. And again later in the video. Yes, as a matter of fact, Teddy Riner is the best competitor. But the best Judoka? No. By the way, in modern Judo tournaments, so many Ippons are not true Ippons. But of course, with some rules modifications, like the suppression of "Yuko", at some point, any projection will allow any Tori to score an Ippon. See the 4th Ippon here. Riner is so strong is he almost turning too much on himself, and his Uke only hits the tatami with the side of his shoulder. Not at least half of the back, as any Ippon should be. As he was also trying to project Riner, Yusupov even thought that he might have scored himself. The 7th one is funny too. For once Riner changed his technique, for something quite simple and useful, some kind of Hiza-Guruma. But you can see Simionescu falling on his left knee and rowling on his thigh, then on his butt. And finally, rotate so much he touched the tatami with his right shoulder. In what world this can be an Ippon? No speed, no strenght, not half of the back on the tatami. (Yeah, there are four criteria to fulfill in the same time to score an Ippon... Control, Speed, Strenght, and hit the tatami with at least half of the back.) In this case, it worth a "Koka" if it still existed. Nothing more. The 10th one is also quite funny... Saito is litteraly diving on the tatami, and protects himself with his left arm. If the side of his shoulder hits the tatami, it's only because of the inertia of Riner falling too. No point should ever been scored on this one... Why "Waza-ari"? Where is the intention of Riner to make Saito fall? Where is his control? Where is his speed? And the Strenght? Not a single criteria to score an Ippon is respected. The only logical decision the referee might have taken would have, maybe, to give a small penalty to Saito. By deleting some old points, Judo competition lost lots of nuances. And it seems referees are quite prompt to give "Ippons" when they decide, and for which competitor they want. In the last Olympics, there were lots of strange decisions made by referees. I heard lots of competitors telling they were bored of this kind of "Judo", and this kind of competition, which is unfair. All that said... Does it lessen the performances of Riner? I don't think so. Like I told before, he is the best competitor, with the current rules of Judo. Nothing forbid to use the same movement in competition, ever, and ever. And obviously, his opponents are almost all never able to beat him. If you want to see what Judo should look like, even with the current rules, which implies more strenght than flexibily... Watch videos of Shohei Ono. His technique is way more impressive than the technique of Riner. (And yes Ono also scored a few times very strange Ippons.)
Comme il se disait à l'époque de Djamel Bouras, les poids lourds, c'est pas du judo. Franchement, qui étudie les techniques de judo en regardant Teddy Riner?
C'est un des trucs les plus idiots que j'ai pu lire aujourd'hui. Tu étudies les techniques en regardant Teddy Riner si toi même tu es un lourd. Forcément si t'es un -60 tu vas pas regarder les lourds.

He is surely the most successful male judoka of all time. However, I am not a fan of his style, based on his athletics, not the technical skills and fighting spirit. Also, IMHO IJF had spent the mass of efforts in order to keep him as "unbeatable" .
He puts the effort, IJF can't do nothing if anotehr guy make him fall. And just because he is strong , some guys like you think he is only strong. He delivered some of the best ippons seen in the heavy weight division, some by attacking straight, some by counters, some in action/reaction... He is very technical, you can't lift and throw 120 kg guys by counting on big arms, if you think it's possible, I wonder what judo gyms you've been to.

I want to say something else.
Judo is comparable with amateur boxing. I don't want to say that the Cuban boxers are not "professional" - they never worked besides in the ring or the gymn. However Teolphilo Steveson (RIP) or Felix Savon (there were some more in lighter weight classes, I don't remember the names) never turned to professional boxing, which is not the same.
In Grappling or MMA it is the same and. Pro Wrestling is not comparable. The World Champion in Wrestling Wilfried Dietrich (RIP) extremely strong (maybe under steroids like yhe Sowjets) said that he didn't see any inrichment for himself in this sport.
Just read the stories of Willem Ruska's wife (Wim Ruska RIP). Anton Geesink (RIP) - 10th Dan (not Kodokan) - took part in such a sh .t. Wim Ruska traeined with "Hulk Hogan" in Miami before his methamorphis. Wim Ruska however wanted to challenge André the Giant.
FAUX LA CATÉGORIE EN JUDO LA PLUS DIFFICILE C'EST 83 KILOGRAMMES POURQOI? CAR C'EST DANS CETTE CATÉGORIE OÙ IL Y A LE PLUS DE CANDIDATS DOC OULA CONCURRENCE EST BEAUCOURPLYS DIFFICILE 10 FOIS PLUS JE DIRAI .C'EST UN ANCIEN JUDOKA QUI VOUS ENVOICE MESSAGE. VOUS POUVEZ ME CROIRE
@@sylvainruolt5234 et donc?
Tu penses que riner ne bat pas ceux de k catégorie 83kg? Il est donc meilleur
Imagine Riner under steroids. His transformation would be great. Original professional sport is not drug tested.
Drug tests derive from the former Western amateur ethics.
自分は日本人だから野村忠弘の方がすごいと思うけども、リネールもよい柔道家であることは理解している。パリオリンピックで他の選手と喧嘩になりそうになったり、指導狙いの組み方をしたり、そういうところは好きではないが。斎藤立を投げた時の動きはさっきまでの焦らすような動きから打って変わって一瞬で決めてしまった。この動画の動きを見てもそうで、ちゃんとした柔道もできるし、よく勉強してここまで来たのだという事は理解できる。
Ce qui ne nous tue pas nous rend plus fort. Mes ancêtres ont combattu en 1244 en France et ont gagné à la bataille de Bouvines. Il me semble que personne ne peut donner une leçon à celui qui perd une bataille. Saito est le meilleur judoka techniquement, et il a toutes les qualités pour le faire. Il n'est pas encore préparé mentalement. Le jour où ce serait fait, personne ne pourra le battre. Konnichiwa.
In fact, the only one he's had a quarrel with is known to have quite bad attitude. He even hurled insults at Teddy. Terry didn't respond to his provocations and left it at that.
Otherwise, Teddy has always had immense respect for Japanese judokas.
Moreover, even if France won against Japan in team judo (a Japanese sport), the Japanese won against the French in fencing (a French sport).
What I mean is that it's no disgrace to lose to another country in a sport invented by your own nation. It's happened to every country in the world, and it's likely to happen again and again.
To conclude, Japan was the 3rd best nation at the Olympics, ahead of Australia and France. You can be proud of your nation and your athletes, they did a fantastic performance.
The greatest of all time thank´s to leg grab prohibition.
Yes. Because leg grabs are prohibited only when rinner is on the mat. And also because before leg grabs where prohibited he only was 1 time junior european champion, 1 time european champion, two times junior world champion, 3 times world champion and had only grab one olympic medal. He was clearly a poor judoka at that time... Or, you don't know what you're talking about.
@@pierrelaroche5134 He is taller than everybody else. Have longger arms. He dominates kumikata because of that and because he doesnt have to worry about the atacks he would suffer if lag grabing were allowed. Proportions and rules favored him.
Being very good before the rule changing doesn't garantees he would have been the best of all time, which is my point.
Your point of view is just that: your point of view. Beeing rude dont make your argument better.
@@AndreLCFigueiredo still better than no argument. You say that if that rule was still there he wouldn't have succeded as well. You don't know and the only clue we have tends to tell us the opposite. You wanting him not to be as good as he his doesn't make an argument at all.

The Best Judoka in the History of Judo ? U are french right ?
@@HomeroSimpson-xm3wc well he is. Sorry it hurts you
So that's the thing. he's french. He beats every single judoka for 20 years in a row but meeh. You know, he's french. I read in a book that some guys were better...
@@pierrelaroche5134 but they don’t mind saying that Steven seagal is the best in whatever he does 😂😂😂
Hmmmmm... Yamashita was better technicaly. He as a very good ne-wasa and a counter attack. If Teddy Riner was not so tall and so stong, he will never dominate this sport
@@DocteurInfierno Japanese are used to walk from the abdomen (they don't use the word "hara" as Europeans think). They use the elbows more than the hands.
@@DocteurInfierno
Groundwork in judo is over. Just one choke maybe, then "Mate'. This was good in the times of "Opa Schutte" and now the Gracie family has developed this then. Fedor Emilianenko is very polyvalent. Striking, Judo, Sambo and groundwork. Cro Cop was a That boxer with catch ground work based on strikes.
The Japanese have a Sumo style, the Russians have a Sambo style. The Russians work more with their strong upper body, the Japanese with their strong equalized underbody. - Try keiza and and seiza and from there from to the knees and up against and then walking from the hip and never move the point of gravity.
The Sumos may create a lot of total body force from there. They don't change their posture.
You must train this. Theory does not make sense alone.
@@DocteurInfierno
Why Yamashita der "judo-god"?
Judo-Legenden gibt es viele. And perhaps Saito was ahead when he stopped his career.
However in contrast to Saito, Douillet or Teddy Riner he always gave his best and showed judo instead of going over the time. His "head to head" results given by Snijders are amazing. And he beat all his lighter European judo legends after one or two minutes. He seemed not to show any fear or preoccupation to lose. (At least for the spectators - a pure Japanese). If you read the Dutch stories combined especially combined with the rivalry between Geesink (Utrecht) and Amsterdam you read open that the Dutch had to respect fixed fights. Ruska often had to accept disadvantages.

You see how strong Saito was in his point of gravity. Of course here he pressed his tall opponent slowly out of the mat. Yamashita made ippons instead

I think lots of people forget the essence of Judo.
Judo means "Gentle way". In French, Judo means "voie de la souplesse", which can be translated as "way of flexibility". Choose which traduction you like the most.
Anyway, this is not Judo. This is pure strenght, and limited technique. The sixth first movements shown here are the same. And again later in the video.
Yes, as a matter of fact, Teddy Riner is the best competitor. But the best Judoka? No.
By the way, in modern Judo tournaments, so many Ippons are not true Ippons. But of course, with some rules modifications, like the suppression of "Yuko", at some point, any projection will allow any Tori to score an Ippon.
See the 4th Ippon here. Riner is so strong is he almost turning too much on himself, and his Uke only hits the tatami with the side of his shoulder. Not at least half of the back, as any Ippon should be. As he was also trying to project Riner, Yusupov even thought that he might have scored himself.
The 7th one is funny too. For once Riner changed his technique, for something quite simple and useful, some kind of Hiza-Guruma. But you can see Simionescu falling on his left knee and rowling on his thigh, then on his butt. And finally, rotate so much he touched the tatami with his right shoulder. In what world this can be an Ippon? No speed, no strenght, not half of the back on the tatami. (Yeah, there are four criteria to fulfill in the same time to score an Ippon... Control, Speed, Strenght, and hit the tatami with at least half of the back.) In this case, it worth a "Koka" if it still existed. Nothing more.
The 10th one is also quite funny... Saito is litteraly diving on the tatami, and protects himself with his left arm. If the side of his shoulder hits the tatami, it's only because of the inertia of Riner falling too. No point should ever been scored on this one... Why "Waza-ari"? Where is the intention of Riner to make Saito fall? Where is his control? Where is his speed? And the Strenght? Not a single criteria to score an Ippon is respected. The only logical decision the referee might have taken would have, maybe, to give a small penalty to Saito.
By deleting some old points, Judo competition lost lots of nuances. And it seems referees are quite prompt to give "Ippons" when they decide, and for which competitor they want.
In the last Olympics, there were lots of strange decisions made by referees. I heard lots of competitors telling they were bored of this kind of "Judo", and this kind of competition, which is unfair.
All that said... Does it lessen the performances of Riner? I don't think so. Like I told before, he is the best competitor, with the current rules of Judo. Nothing forbid to use the same movement in competition, ever, and ever. And obviously, his opponents are almost all never able to beat him.
If you want to see what Judo should look like, even with the current rules, which implies more strenght than flexibily... Watch videos of Shohei Ono. His technique is way more impressive than the technique of Riner. (And yes Ono also scored a few times very strange Ippons.)
Riner is the best judoka ever. U’re wasting your time pretending he is not
@@bigben9463 He is not.
Comme il se disait à l'époque de Djamel Bouras, les poids lourds, c'est pas du judo. Franchement, qui étudie les techniques de judo en regardant Teddy Riner?
C'est un des trucs les plus idiots que j'ai pu lire aujourd'hui. Tu étudies les techniques en regardant Teddy Riner si toi même tu es un lourd. Forcément si t'es un -60 tu vas pas regarder les lourds.
@@Anthobvs Du coup, le judo des - 60, c'est pas le judo des lourds? C'est quoi le vrai judo alors? Y en a plusieurs? Sapristi, ce serait pas idiot aussi?

Said the butt hurt dude
Absolutely not the goat!!!!!!
Jealous or racist? Maybe both
Very far from being the best ever, bet he wouldn't make more than 1 Olympic medal if he competed in lower weight categories
That’s the dumbest statement I’ve ever heard. Mohammad Ali would lose all his fight if he fought at welterweight…
He fights at this WC because that’s his weight.
Stop crying lol
@@romanvercier3556 IAM a former judoka I competed ,in -81 kg the I can assure U the amount of competitiveness is at the highest in that category ,compared to overweight categories
Ha ha ha !! Dunbest thing I read today !!! 😂😂
Penso che questo e' solo un pallone gonfiato..nessuna tecnica😂
In Japan they respect him a lot for his technics and mental, he's a legend, you can't win in Judo without self-control and be a good technician, people judge him a lot for his size but can be a disadvantage in Judo if the opposant have a better technic, Teddy doesn't win just because his body.
So that's why he beats all his heavier opponent ?
