Smartphones... can you live without yours? Every once in a while, I leave mine at home while running errands, just to show myself that I am not totally addicted, and to have a couple of hours when my location is unknown to a bunch of telecommunications conglomerates. Those occasions are rare, and of short duration though.
Yeah, smartphones are valuable servants, so when one is betrayed by such a servant, it is heartbreaking. So it was with French judoka Priscilla Gneto, 2012 Olympic medalist and 2017 European champion in the 57Kg weight division. During a match with Japan's Momo Tamaoki during this weekend's French Judo Grand Slam, her smartphone fell out of her judogi onto the mat, and she was disqualified. The worst thing about this occurrence is that she had the upper hand when it happened:
Quel dommage! Thankfully, she was able to garner the bronze in the competition by winning her next fight. It's unfortunate that her little electronic servant betrayed her during this important fight, but such are the fortunes of combat.

I just want to know who she butt-dialled when she grappled.
Haha Doc. I think our good host has some opinions. It is cause for disqualification.
I hope it wasn't her sensei!
I'm sure some old Chinese guy said something about ~ or at least is attributed to have said something about ~ poor planning.
