ABOUT RYAN

Ryan first stepped on the judo mat as a four or five year old while watching his mum (Kylie Koenig) train and compete for Australia. He is inspired to follow in her footsteps and credits one of his career highlights being representing Australia in competition overseas, with his mum as a national coach watching on.

The boy from Penrith has fought back from three knee surgeries in 24 months and has had two top-three Junior Asian Cup men's -73kg results in 2023, finishing second at the U21 Hong Kong Asian Cup and third at the U21 Macau Asian Cup.
