French judoka Teddy Riner, an accomplished athlete and four-time Olympic champion, showed his dominance in the quarterfinals of the team mix at the Paris Olympics by easily defeating South Korea's Lee Eun-hwan. The bout lasted just 90 seconds and ended 10-0 in Riner's favor.
The difference in the size of the athletes made this fight the most unusual at the tournament: Riner weighs 145 kg, while his opponent weighs only 83 kg.
Despite the significant difference in weight and height, Riner demonstrated not only physical superiority, but also a high level of skill, defeating his opponent in less than a minute and a half.
The reasons for the Korean team's decision to field such an unsuitable opponent for Riner remain unknown. Perhaps the Korean side decided to take a risk and try to use "quick attack" tactics, hoping for surprise and unexpectedness. However, such a strategy did not work.
Thanks to Riner's confident victory, the French team advanced to the semifinals of the team mixed event. The Russian team does not participate in the Olympics in Paris.
