Teddy Riner was born on April 7, 1989, in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe. From an early age, Riner displayed significant energy, engaging in various sports including climbing, golf, tennis, swimming, and football, in addition to judo. By the age of five, he began to focus predominantly on judo due to early successes. Riner’s family moved from Guadeloupe to France, and he was raised in Paris, where he continued to develop his judo skills. He quickly established himself in the sport, joining the Levallois Sporting Club before later moving to Paris Saint-Germain Judo in August 2017.
Riner’s professional career began to flourish in the mid-2000s. He became a junior world and European champion in 2006. In 2007, he achieved a significant milestone by winning a gold medal at the European Judo Championships on his eighteenth birthday, and later that year, he became the youngest ever senior world champion in the heavyweight division at the World Judo Championships in Rio de Janeiro. This early success set the stage for a dominant career, characterized by an impressive winning streak and numerous international titles. He is coached by Christian Chaumont and Benoît Campargue.
Throughout his career, Riner has amassed an unparalleled collection of medals, including multiple Olympic gold medals and a record twelve gold medals at the World Judo Championships across heavyweight and openweight categories. His sustained performance, including an undefeated streak between October 2010 and February 2020 with 154 consecutive victories, underscores his impact on the sport. Riner has also engaged in community work, serving as a patron for the Imagine Institute of Genetic Diseases and as a UNICEF France goodwill ambassador, supporting unwell children, doctors, and researchers.
