Or, Teddy Pierre-Marie Riner if you want to be fancy about it.
Teddy is French (as if that Pierre-Marie bit didn't give it away) and he is a judo champ. He won the Olympic gold medal in the +100kg category. He was in the +100kg category because he weighs 128kgs (that's 280lbs!) and he's 6'8".
Teddy is not petit. He's like a walking jungle gym.
But he's awesome. And super duper cute. And I have a little crush on him.
That's all I wanted to say today.
Oh, one more thing, according to adidas, "before committing to judo, he tried his hand at modern jazz dancing".
*jazz hands*
bisou
Modern Jazz Dancing. Oh my god, I hope there's a Youtube video of that.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Thanks for the info. He's adorable :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree - he's adorable! I normally don't care for Judo - but he was definitely worth watching! and such a teddy bear!
ReplyDeleteOooooh I watched the match he is beautiful!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that Gregory will allow a boyfriend on the side. The French are so laid back with things like that.
ReplyDeletem.
Aww, modern jazz dancing! Filing that under "Things You Wouldn't Think Makes a Guy Cuter...But Does."
ReplyDeleteFour inches taller than my husband and I think he is tall!! Enjoy your day Diane
ReplyDeleteTotally crushing too
ReplyDeleteThe thought of such a giant man jazz dancing is quite entertaining!
ReplyDeleteQuite a contrast to go from jazz dancing to judo but it was obviously a good decision!!

I'm just imagining a 6'8", 280 lb black guy doing jazz hands.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me smile.
Haha he IS cute!!!
ReplyDeletehaha! *jazz hands* i love it :)

Yup. Agreed. Teddy is pretty darn hot. xo
ReplyDeleteHow does that thought process work?
ReplyDelete"I really want to be a dancer but I'll settle for a combat sport"
Oh he is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteHe is pretty cute. France cleaned up in Judo this year.
ReplyDeleteI just noticed what all the other comments said. They all talk about how good looking he is. If you're skimming the comments and just notice my name there, then I don't really come across too manly.
ReplyDeleteMmmm he is rather yummy. Mind you we are rather spoilt for choice at the Olympics - so many fit & handsome young men. And it all ends tonight waaaaaaaaaaaaah - what am I going to watch when it's all over. Seriously I'v never watched so much sport in my life & enjoyed every minute of it. The UK is going to suffer seriously from post Olympic depression - it's all we've talked about & watched for the last 2 weeks & we've loved every minute of it.
ReplyDelete280 lbs of pure precious steel! oh my!
ReplyDeletegood posting about teddy bear
ReplyDeleteOhhh how cute! (never thought that about a Judo champion before!) Love that he tried Jazz dance, bit of a career change there!
ReplyDeleteI think I now also have a petit crush. And I will never be able to picture him without jazz hands. Thanks.
