Highlights: Teddy Riner beats Jaegu Youn in just 43 seconds at the Paris Grand Slam. The French judoka is aiming for an 8th title at the Accor Arena. Riner will face German Losseni Koné in the next round. He is aiming to become the only record holder at the arena. Lucie Descosse and Clarisse Agbégnénou have both won 7 titles at the venue. The tournament runs until the end of the month in Paris.


The French judoka with 11 world titles spent only 43 seconds on the tatami in the second round at the Accor Arena.


So far so good for Teddy Riner at the Paris Grand Slam, where he is aiming for an 8th title which would allow him to become the only record holder at the Accor Arena - ahead of Lucie Descosse and Clarisse Agbégnénou and their 7 respective titles.

For his second fight of the day in the category of over 100 kilos, the triple Olympic champion did not hang around in inflicting a devastating ippon on the South Korean Jaegu Youn after only 43 seconds of combat.

Great work for the French judoka who will move up in the face of adversity with the German Losseni Koné, 22nd in the world, in the next round.

Nothing insurmountable however for him who could still ignite the Parisian enclosure with a new ippon.
