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

[@fortuna9074]

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.

[@moussetache1815]

I mean not that long ago I saw him for what he still was: a very young man. I even remember when he was interviewed about him still being in highschool and stuff. A street and a gymnasium in my neighbourhood are named after him. He legits deserves the legend status, but everybody knows that already.

[@jimmyboe8246]

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.

[@squalllecanard8339]

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.

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" .

[@pierrelaroche5134]

He puts the effort, IJF can't do nothing if anotehr guy make him fall. And just because he is strong , some guys like you think he is only strong. He delivered some of the best ippons seen in the heavy weight division, some by attacking straight, some by counters, some in action/reaction... He is very technical, you can't lift and throw 120 kg guys by counting on big arms, if you think it's possible, I wonder what judo gyms you've been to.

[@squalllecanard8339]

Affirmer l'argument redondants et faux comme quoi il impose que sa puissance et est très limité techniquement est complétement faux; Il faut avoir des connaissances limitées et ne l'avoir vu que peu de fois combattre pour affirmer qu'il a une technique quelconque ! Je vous invite a regarder le maximum de ses combats; vous verrez que ces ippons (et surtout sa spéciale le huchi-mata est une attaque qui réclame pas mal de technique.

[@deghilagearmand6848]

Ce qui ne nous tue pas nous rend plus fort. Mes ancêtres ont combattu en 1244 en France et ont gagné à la bataille de Bouvines. Il me semble que personne ne peut donner une leçon à celui qui perd une bataille. Saito est le meilleur judoka techniquement, et il a toutes les qualités pour le faire. Il n'est pas encore préparé mentalement. Le jour où ce serait fait, personne ne pourra le battre. Konnichiwa.

[@darkshao51]

In fact, the only one he's had a quarrel with is known to have quite bad attitude. He even hurled insults at Teddy. Terry didn't respond to his provocations and left it at that. Otherwise, Teddy has always had immense respect for Japanese judokas. Moreover, even if France won against Japan in team judo (a Japanese sport), the Japanese won against the French in fencing (a French sport). What I mean is that it's no disgrace to lose to another country in a sport invented by your own nation. It's happened to every country in the world, and it's likely to happen again and again. To conclude, Japan was the 3rd best nation at the Olympics, ahead of Australia and France. You can be proud of your nation and your athletes, they did a fantastic performance.

Yes. Because leg grabs are prohibited only when rinner is on the mat. And also because before leg grabs where prohibited he only was 1 time junior european champion, 1 time european champion, two times junior world champion, 3 times world champion and had only grab one olympic medal. He was clearly a poor judoka at that time... Or, you don't know what you're talking about.

@@pierrelaroche5134 He is taller than everybody else. Have longger arms. He dominates kumikata because of that and because he doesnt have to worry about the atacks he would suffer if lag grabing were allowed. Proportions and rules favored him. Being very good before the rule changing doesn't garantees he would have been the best of all time, which is my point. Your point of view is just that: your point of view. Beeing rude dont make your argument better.

[@RéginaldGhislain]

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.)

Être un esthète ne te fait pas gagner le combat; au final on détermine la grandeur d'un champion via son palmarès et celui de Teddy est juste le meilleur de tous les temps (et encore c'est pas fini car il compte faire 4 années de plus pour encore plus garnir son immense palmarès et prétendre à un 4e sacre olympique en individuel) Donc tu auras beau tenter de démontrer de façon non objective que d'autres avant lui étaient peut être plus élégants (ça n'engage que toi); il n'en reste pas moins qu'ils ont tous un palmarès moins fourni et plus de défaites dans leurs carrières.
