The hazards of live.
Like every weekend,
Laurent Delahousse
received three personalities in “8:30 p.m. on Sunday” on France 2. The edition of this February 4 was reserved for the creator Simon Porte Jacquemus, for the singer Santa known for being part of the group Hyphen Hyphen but also the judoka
Teddy Riner

And if the French designer and the singer were indeed present on the France Télévisions set, this was not the case for the athlete.
The latter has a particularly busy schedule.
This Sunday - and six months before the Olympic Games - Teddy Riner competed and won his eighth title at the Paris Grand Slam, becoming the record holder for trophies in the capital.

The judoka's mission was therefore to join, in the evening, the France Télévisions studios, located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, from the Accor Arena in the 12th arrondissement.
Until then, nothing impossible.
Especially since Teddy Riner didn't launch the show.
Laurent Delahousse began the show by interviewing Simon Porte Jacquemus who had just presented his new collection this week at the Maeght foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence.
“He’s on a motorcycle”
As soon as the face-to-face ended, he announced the arrival of Santa to perform one of his songs live, while promising the arrival of the judoka right after.
“We will meet Teddy Riner in a few minutes.
He is on a motorcycle.
He is coming towards us.
Well, we hope it arrives in any case.
But for the moment, it’s Santa
,” says the France 2 journalist live.
The live ends and continues with the interview with the singer.
The latter reveals that a new project should be released in the spring but that she is
“a bit off track”
.
The pole is too beautiful and Laurent Delahousse grabs it.
“I like the idea of being a little stuck because we're still waiting for Teddy Riner who has to come, who is on a motorbike in Paris, stuck
,” recalls the presenter before launching the subject on the athlete.
“So Teddy Riner we will find him either on social networks because he is still on the way, or next week, we will see
,” he concludes.
And yes, despite all the patience in the world, Laurent Delahousse did not receive the judoka in this Sunday's edition.
Teddy Riner still wanted to apologize to the journalist via social networks.
In a story, he declares:
“hi Laurent, you excuse me I couldn't be there because of the anti-doping control.
But next week I’m here, without fail
