No need to hang around on the way. For his first fight at the Antalya Grand Slam, in the 2nd round after the Frenchman was exempt from the 1st, Teddy Riner wasted no time in getting rid of Azamat Chotchaev.
After a start to the fight without action, which would result in a penalty for the two judokas, the Frenchman was the first to take the initiative, and it immediately paid off with a nice ippon. In the next round, the three-time Olympic champion will challenge the Dutchman Jur Spijkers, 27th in the world.
