France will bring the phenomenon Teddy Riner to Rio

France, home country to nothing less that 41 Olympians, will once again show its strength in Brazil. Since 2006 the French have visited the country regularly for training camps and competitions. During the Grand Slam in Rio this year, France will be represented at Maracanãzinho by some of its main athletes. At 34 years old, Frédérique Jossinet (-48kg) will try her consecutive gold medal of the competition. Amongst the men, the phenomenon Teddy Riner, World Champion in Rio de Janeiro in 2007 when he was only 17 years old, will return to the city and will be a bonus to the judo fans.
