Teddy Riner annonce être candidat à l’élection présidentielle de 2027, poussé par la « colère » sociale et l’envie de « fédérer » les Français
Le Monde reports that judoka Teddy Riner, triple Olympic and eleven-time world champion, announced on 9 November in an interview with Le Parisien that he is running in the 2027 French presidential election. Saying he is "neither of the right nor of the left" and wants to be the president who unites the French, he keeps his sports career open and says his program's details will come later.
