里内尔在《巴黎人报》周一刊发的采访中表示，他将自己定位为“既非右翼也非左翼”，并希望成为一名“让人们团结在一起的总统”。
Riner said in an interview with Le Parisien newspaper published Monday that he is positioning himself as “neither right-wing nor left-wing” and hopes to become a “president who brings people together".
当被问及他的参选是否应被认真对待时，里内尔说：“不负责任的做法将是保持沉默，旁观我国正在发生的事情，以及过去几年一直在发生的事情。”
Asked whether his bid should be taken seriously, Riner said “what would be irresponsible would be to remain silent and stand by as a spectator to what is happening in our country, and what has been happening for several years now".
里内尔是法国最知名的体育人物之一，他在极右翼总统候选人马琳·勒庞在民调中领跑、有望明年取代中间派总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙的背景下进入竞选行列。
Riner, among France's best-known sports figures, enters the race with far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen leading in the polls to replace centrist President Emmanuel Macron next year.
数周来，巴黎及法国其他地区的抗议游行吸引了大量人群，示威者要求提高工资并支持该国的学生抗议运动，给陷入困境的政府施加了新的压力。
Protest marches have been drawing huge crowds for weeks in Paris and elsewhere across France as demonstrators demand higher wages and back the country’s student protest movement, piling fresh pressure on the beleaguered government.
里内尔表示，他意识到贯穿全国的社会紧张局势，并且无法接受年轻人和老一辈人说他们难以为自己描绘未来。
Riner said he is aware of the social tensions running through the country and that he can’t accept young people and older generations saying they are struggling to imagine a future for themselves.
“我听到了愤怒，一些人用极其消极的言辞回响着这种愤怒，这来自那些不再有任何雄心、不再渴望宏图大志的人，”里内说。“然而法国是一个伟大的国家。它让我成为今天的我，给了我梦想远大的机会。而今天，恰恰缺少的就是这些。不再有雄心，不再有希望。”里内在9月表示，希望以在2028年洛杉矶奥运会上夺得第四枚个人奥运金牌来结束其辉煌职业生涯。当《巴黎人报》问及竞选总统是否意味着放弃奥运会时，这位身高2.04米（6英尺8英寸）的重量级选手回答“不”。
“I hear the anger, which some people echo in their rhetoric with a great deal of negativity, coming from people who no longer have any ambition or the desire to think big,” Riner said. “Yet France is a great country. It has allowed me to become the person I am today and given me the opportunity to dream big. Today, that is precisely what is missing. There is no longer that ambition, no longer that hope.”Riner said in September that wants to end his stellar career with a fourth individual Olympic gold medal at the Los Angeles Games in 2028. Asked by Le Parisien if his presidential bid means he is giving up on the Olympics, the 2.04-meter (6-foot-8) heavyweight said no.
“只要我的总统职责允许，且法国人民给予我祝福，就不会放弃，”这位11次世界冠军说。
“Not if my duties as president allow it and the French people give me their blessing,” the 11-time world champion said.
法国当局在9月表示，曾就里内表达对极右翼崛起的担忧后遭受的网络种族辱骂展开调查。在接受法国体育电视节目《Stade 2》采访时，里内说极端主义抬头让他“感到恐惧”。当被问及是否指“双方”——即极左翼和极右翼——时，里内回答“极右翼”。
French authorities in September said they investigated online racial abuse aimed at Riner after he expressed concern about the rise of the far right. In an interview with French sports television show Stade 2, Riner said he was “freaked out” by the rise of extremism. Asked if he meant “on both sides” – meaning the far left and far right – Riner replied “the far right".
根据民调，这位民族主义者领先于强硬派左翼领袖让-吕克·梅朗雄。“国家正经历深度分裂，我们别自欺欺人了，”里内说。“面对这种局面，我看不出有任何一位候选人提出可信且公正的愿景，能够团结法国人而非分裂他们。今天没有人提供真诚的希望。总是这一派对抗那一派。我竞选总统是为了表明我们能让法国重振雄风。我们有能力共同成就伟业。”当被问及如果当选，在国际舞台上的首项举措会是什么时，里内表示，希望确保法国与盟友合作良好，并赢得更多尊重。
According to polls, the nationalist is the front-runner ahead of hard-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon“The country is experiencing deep divisions right now, let’s not kid ourselves,” Riner said. “And in the face of that, I don’t see a single candidate putting forward a credible and fair vision capable of bringing the French people together rather than dividing them. There is no one today offering genuine, sincere hope. It’s always one side against another. I’m running for president to show that we can get France back on its feet. We are capable of achieving great things together.”Asked about what would be his first initiative on the international stage if he is elected, Riner said he wants to make sure France works well with its allies and commands greater respect.
“我身边很多人一直在谈论我和唐纳德·特朗普的第一次握手，”他笑着说。“我们看看谁握手更有力。”里内已获得五枚奥运柔道金牌。他在2012年、2016年和2024年奥运会上夺得重量级冠军，并在2020年和2024年奥运会上获得混合团体金牌。里内还赢得过11个世界冠军头衔。
“A lot of people around me have been talking about my first handshake with Donald Trump” he said, laughing. “We’ll see who has the firmer handshake.”Riner has won five Olympic gold medals in judo. He won the heavyweight division at the 2012, 2016 and 2024 Olympics and mixed team golds at the 2020 and 2024 Games. Riner has also won 11 world titles.
另一位法国柔道明星大卫·杜耶于2009年当选法国议会议员，并于2011年9月至2012年5月担任体育部长。
Another French star judoka, David Douillet, was elected to the French parliament in 2009 and served as sports minister from September 2011 to May 2012.
