During the athletes’ parade in Paris last weekend, Emmanuel Macron was seen taking a long time adjusting Teddy Riner’s tie.
On September 14, Paris celebrated its athletes one last time. During this ceremony, Emmanuel Macron decorated several champions including Teddy Riner who became Commander of the National Order of Merit.
But before receiving the decoration, Emmanuel Macron went up to him to say a few words. But the French president especially took the opportunity to readjust his tie… at length. The scene was very amusing on social networks. It was clear that it was a pretext for Emmanuel Macron to exchange a little more with the judoka.
Guest on the set of “ It’s up to you “, Teddy Riner outlined the outlines of this discussion. ” I am honored, I think there are many who are jealous of me today. I am lucky, one, to be decorated by the President of the Republic, two, to be given the button and the tie “, he jokes. Teddy Riner adds that he has ” a big neck “.
” I was hot, but above all, I apologized because it is an honor. (…) I don’t think anyone has experienced that, so it’s something else that I will tell my grandchildren. ” he finally adds.
