Shock in the judo world. 30-year-old Teddy Reiner, who has not lost a fight for nearly a decade (since September 2010), lost to Grand Prix today in front of his home audience in the over 100kg weight category.
Who is responsible for the huge sensation and ousted the French who holds 2 Olympic gold medals is the Japanese Kokoro Kagura. Kagura squeezed his opponent into extension and after 40 seconds managed to surprise a whole branch when he won a sensational gold score. Rinner has today also won the Olympic medals, as well as eight gold medals at the World Championships, when he is also expected to go all the way in the upcoming Olympics, Tokyo 2020.
