EPISODE #97 – As we prepare for the Summer Olympics. this Fantastic Fellas Friday we celebrate the youngest Judo Champion ever, at age 18.  French African American (Judoka) Judo Olympian Representing France - Teddy Riner.  A Judoka is generally categorized as a modern Japanese martial art, which has since evolved into an Olympic event.  The sport was created in 1882 by Jigoro Kano . Teddy has won 10 World Championship gold medals, the first and only judoka (male or female) to do so, and two Olympic gold medals. He has also won five gold medals at the European Championships. He had a 10- year winning streak of 154 bouts before his defeat in February 2020.  He is now the 2021 Judo Masters Champion winning the gold.  He is headed to compete in Tokyo in the 2021 Olympics and finds renewed motivation.  He was recently featured on the tv show - The Immortals: Greatest Athletes of All-Time.  WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?  LINKS BELOW FOR: APPLE, GOOGLE, PANDORA, AND SPOTIFY.
