Olympic fencer's phone drops out of his pocket (yes, during a bout) - CNET

You're Enzo Lefort. You're French. You have, therefore, lots of national pride.

But then, as NBC's glorious Olympics footage shows, Joppich gets a bit aggressive.

He chases Lefort off the piste, or whatever they call it.

That's the moment French pride takes a hit. For Lefort's phone falls out of his back pocket.

It lies on the ground, as if he's been caught giving his lover a hickey at his parents' house.

The judges then ask him to hand them the phone. Would they go through his pictures? His call records?

This incites several thoughts.

One: Please don't tell me he was playing Pokemon Go.

Two: Oh, don't tell me he was broadcasting on Facebook Live from the inside of his pocket. The extrapolations are upsetting.

Three: Was he expecting an urgent call? If so, from whom? Would he have stopped fencing if the phone had rung?
