This Monday, October 9, 2023, Teddy Riner swapped his kimono for his “costume” as an ambassador for the Olympic Games and a man committed to defending the climate. Like a great-uncle, brother or friend, the champion took advantage of these few hours spent in the company of young Comorians from the Henri Matisse and Mohamed Cheick high schools in Moroni to encourage them to believe in their dreams.
In the presence of the governor, Sitti Farouata Mhoudine and the French ambassador, Sylvain Riquier, the champion answered dozens of questions from the “brats”.
He recalled that his exceptional journey was the fruit of incessant work, despite doubts and failures. A way of inviting your interlocutors to never give up, as the site emphasizes Comoros News.
