Hope is gone.
Injured in the ankle during an internship in Rabat, Morocco at the end of August, Teddy Riner, who was initially supposed to spend three weeks on crutches and wearing a splint, has passed additional examinations which force him to give up the world championships which will take place in Tashkent from October 6th to 13th.
"Alas I feared it, but the medical examinations taken today have confirmed that I will not be able to resume judo for a few weeks, which therefore excludes my participation in the next World Championships in Tashkent", explained the Guadeloupean who no longer has competed in the World Cup since 2017.
