André Larrivé: 92-Year-Old Judoka Inspires on the Tatami

André Larrivé, a 92-year-old French judoka, continues to practice the sport, having spent 74 years on the tatami. From Montalieu-Vercieu, near Lyon, he is a source of inspiration for younger athletes.

He started judo to defend himself from bullying at school, founded his own club, and in 2012 was honored by Minister of Sports David Douillet. The duration of his career even surpasses that of Teddy Riner.

Despite his age, Larrivé remains active, demonstrating the benefits of judo's discipline.
