  • Teddy Riner, Goodwill Ambassador of the Crans Montana Forum
    Teddy Riner, Goodwill Ambassador of the Crans Montana Forum By Nicolas Messner on 28. Jun 2019 For four days (June 26-29), the Crans Montana Forum is gathering in Geneva, Switzerland to talk about peace, development and stability. During the official dinner, organized in partnership with the 'Cercle des Ambassadeurs à Paris', ten-time World Champion and two-time Olympic Champion, Teddy Riner of France, was appointed as goodwill ambassador of the Crans Montana Forum. Teddy Riner could unfortunately not be present, as he had announced the same day, that he was about the resume his sports season on the occasion of the Montreal Grand Prix to take place from July 5-7 in Canada, but the French giant delivered a video message to all the participants: "I am sorry I couldn't be with you tonight, but after one year and a half without competition, I just got my selection to go get the points to qualify for the Olympic Games. I want to thank Jean-Paul Carteron, for having thought about me for this beautiful initiative, to name me an Ambassador for the Crans Montana Forum. This is with great pleasure that I accept. It is in line with the values of my sport. You can count on me.“ Before becoming a Crans Montana goodwill ambassador, Teddy Riner was already a goodwill ambassador of the UNICEF. A week ago, he participated in an impressive judo event in Kilis, south Turkey. Since 2014, in partnership with the Turkish Judo Federation and local authorities, the International Judo Federation has developed a Judo for Peace programme aimed at restoring the smile of hundreds of children who have had to flee the war in their country, and who ended, often traumatized, with what remains of their family, in the Container City camp.
