Five-time Olympic judo champion Teddy Riner has announced his candidacy for the 2027 presidential election. The 37-year-old athlete says he wants to transcend political divides, positioning himself "neither right nor left," with the ambition of uniting the French people. Denouncing social divisions and the lack of opportunities for younger generations, he hopes to become a unifying president. He must now gather the 500 endorsements required to officially register his candidacy. He has also not ruled out continuing his sporting career until the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
