The Best Judoka in the History of Judo! // Teddy Riner- top Ippons 2024 

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

C'est le meilleur judoka de l histoire effectivement🔥. Les gens peuvent chialer, personne n égale la légende teddy Riner🇨🇵

French judo academy is the nemesis of Japanese one that's it

Big Teddy Reiner the 🐐 of Judo 🎉❤

le plus grand dans la légende ,sur le toit de l olympe !

To explain something. Judo is a technical discipline. So you find different bodytypes fighting in different styles. It is not easy to say if it is better to be tall and lean or better athletic or small and heavy. Taller guys try to break smaller guys in another way. They try to use their long legs an create a moment round the vertical axis (uchimata etc.) or to use their higher upper body that yhe smaller opponent falls backwards (osotogari etc.). Smaller heavy fighters try to break their taller opponents around the vertical axis (ippon seoinage) using the advantage to get easier under the point of gravity of the opponent. The taller fighter tries to control from a higher grip, the smaller tries to get a fast grip and find his position for a surprise attack.

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. Il gagne deux médailles d'or en 2024 avec des masterclass où il envoie 5 uchi-mata en 2 jours sur ce qui se fait de mieux dans la planéte judo !! 6 défaites (dont 4 par shidos) en 17 ans de carrière; 10 ans d'invincibilité. Et la moisson n'est pas encore finie car il sera encore là dans 4 ans pour être le seul à obtenir 4 médailles d'or en individuel. Il est déjà le GOAT; le boss de fin; mais il peut plier l'game dans 4 ans en devenant le seul judoka à obtenir 4 titres olympiques. A savoir qu'il n'a perdu que 6 combats dans sa carrière (en 17 ans); 4 par shidos (dont un vol en 2010 au Japon avec un Japonais); deux fois où il se fait contrer (à Pékin quand il avait 18 ans; en apprentissage; et contre le russe en 2021). teddy à 16 ans au sommet, seulement 6 défaites en combats officiels. Yamashita n'avait presque pas d'opposition en face. Riner a battu: Yusupov, Krpalek, Saito, Tmenov, Tushishvili, Granda, Meyer, Moura, Silva, etc...etc... 5 titres européens, 11 titres mondiaux, 3 or et 2 bronzes olympiques individuels + 2 or par équipes mixtes, 7 Grand Chelem de Paris ( le tournoi de Paris est plus difficile que les JO ). The GOAT! Aucun adversaire ne l'a fait voler jusqu'à lors; lui le maître de l'uchi-mata. Respect Golden Teddy car non seulement tu es le GOAT sur le tatami mais en plus tu es si respectueux; charismatique; bienveillant; humble et ambitieux en dehors. Tu es un véritable modèle pour la jeunesse avec les valeurs qui sont les tiennes. Le Japon fait des cauchemars depuis 15 ans à cause de toi car tu incarnes l'excellence et l'esprit Samouraï de leur culture.

Legend 🇫🇷

The greatest judoka of all time : 5 Olympic gold medals 11 World Championships gold medals 5 gold medals at the European Championships

Merci teddy 👍💖

Definitely dominant! Is there a judoka that matches up well with him?

Yasuyuki Muneta's Hiza Guruma we all know the one, makes Teddy look like a naughty boy

Gwada. Haters, mwen ka di zot "counia manman-w"

une légende du sport mondial et il veut allez au jo en 2028 a LA

He is very very big and greatly benefited from removing leg takedowns from legal moves, which is judo

Concerning the ideal bodyweight, in the unlimited class this depends also on the physical type of the fighter. There are 3 ground types: the endomorphic - example: Krpalek the mesomorphic - example: Riner the ectomorphic - example: Saito For an mesomorphic athlete it is not so easy to go down to the body weight of an endomorph because he will lose strength. On the other hand the mesomorphic athlete might lose his athletic advantages if he goes up with his weight to that of an ectomorhic. The endomorphic type may have more muscle feeling. The ectomorphic type might reach more absolute strength..

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?

He is FORMIDABLE, AMAZING! 🤩🤩🤩👍👍💪💪💕🩷🩷

6th dan

🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷👏👏👏

1-Japon🇯🇵 2-France🇨🇵 3- Other...🌊🌊🌊

C pas ilgege (vu ildegard) le đoko du judo....bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

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?

Ah yes, I see you know your judo well

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" .

Ryoko Tani is watching from a distant corner and just smiles..

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

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。

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.😁

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.

The greatest of all time thank´s to leg grab prohibition.

The Best Judoka in the History of Judo ? U are french right ?

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

테디 보기싫다. 이제그만나와라. 몸무게200나가는데. 어떻게이기냐. 은퇴해라 마니묵엇다 아이가

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?

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.)

Should be ashamed really. There's nothing triumphant about his winnings.

NOT BEST, ONLY BIGGEST

Absolutely not the goat!!!!!!

😂😂😂😂он просто большой 😂

Very far from being the best ever, bet he wouldn't make more than 1 Olympic medal if he competed in lower weight categories

Penso che questo e' solo un pallone gonfiato..nessuna tecnica😂
