An Olympic judo champion announces his candidacy for the presidency of France.
Teddy Riner has said he intends to run for the top government job in 2027. He posted this video message on social media.
The athlete emphasized that he has no experience in politics, but France "is bending more and more under the weight of debt, and the streets are at the mercy of hooligans."
Teddy Riner, 37, won Olympic gold medals in London, Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo and twice in Paris. The Frenchman is also a 12-time world champion and a five-time European judo champion.
