So Judo now officially not an Asian sport anymore? Well done Teddy!
Fighto!
Has not been for a long time.
I think you'll find other sports like cricket, rugby, football etc are no longer English either.
Amazing performance from Riner - one of the greats!

Teddy has been The Man for years. It was exciting seeing all the people and P.M. rooting him on.

Good on Riner! Was cheering for Kim, who beat the Japanese athlete in the semis (and the latter went on to lose the bronze medal match, but oddly that was not emphasized in the news), but I am glad they both did their best and France could represent on the home stage.

What did I say? Teddy is THE MAN. Japan cannot mess with him. Golden Score. Gold medal!

Yes Teddy won the last fight against Tatsuru Saito for the Gold medal in the mixed team !
