Five-time Olympic and 12-time world judo champion Teddy Riner, 37, has announced that he wants to run in the presidential election to be held in France in April.
Globalinfo.az reports that he described himself as “neither right-wing nor left-wing” and said he wants to unite the country.
Riner said he would not assess the work of incumbent President Emmanuel Macron at this point.
“I am not looking for someone to blame. I have come here to look for solutions,” the judoka said.
According to Riner, he will finance the election campaign “out of his own pocket” and is confident he will collect the required 500 signatures.
