We love to rag on teens and Pokemon Go addicts for being constantly glued to their phones, but someone really should have a word with French fencer Enzo Lefort.

He would be the fencer, competing at a sporting event that takes place once every four years, who couldn’t bear to part ways with his phone during his duel against Germany’s Peter Joppich.

We could take the piss, or we could let GQ have a little fun

I mean, on some level Lefort is a hero. He’s so goddamn laid back he can’t be bothered to get rid of his mobile device during the absolute pinnacle of his sport. People are more respectful with their phones on airplanes than this dude is during (presumably) the most important fight of the athletic career he’s spent a lifetime working toward. Was he trying into slide into some Olympic village DMs? Hatch a Charizard? Add some dank Rio content to his Snapchat Story?

My guess is he was hoping to snap a killer selfie post-duel, but maybe that’s just the social media cynic in me talking.
