Overview

  • Riner is slated to compete at the Grand Prix of Mexico from October 17 to 19, marking his first international event since Paris 2024.
  • His team describes a gradual comeback focused on regaining ranking points and competitive bearings rather than a rapid ramp‑up.
  • The competition plan beyond Mexico remains open, with the Paris Grand Slam currently not on his schedule but left as a possible late decision.
  • Since his double Olympic gold he has fought only once, for PSG’s Champions League win, after taking time to recover from an elbow operation.
  • The Riner Cup returns on November 29–30 in Clichy‑la‑Garenne for minimes and cadets, with Riner aiming to expand the amateur‑friendly event across France.
