Dropped calls, am I right? An Olympic fencer in the middle of competition in Rio a few days ago had his phone fall out of his fencing pants while dodging one of those fencing poker things.
Why in the world French fencer Enzo Lefort felt the need to hold onto his cell while dueling with Germany’s Peter Joppich is beyond us. The Sun newspaper has more images, clearly showing the device in the world champion’s back pocket, and then in mid air.
And Lefort dropped more than his phone — he lost a point during the mishap and eventually the duel, 15-13.
NBC tweeted a video of the dramatic moment. At least it’s a good thing Lefort isn’t a swimmer.
