Olympic champion in team foil, French fencer Julien Mertine was in the Integral Tokyo on RMC Info. Asked about the stars he could have approached, Mertine mentioned the case of world number 1 Novak Djokovic who could barely eat when he pointed the tip of his nose to the self-service in the Olympic village.
“There was Djokovic who was at the cafeteria, he was being harassed, he’s a golden guy, he played the game and all. We were there at the table: ‘we’re not going to bother him’. And then an hour or two later, we walk around the village and then I passed him. He was all alone and I allowed myself to go see him to ask him for a photo ”said the gold medalist who was finally able to leave Tokyo with his souvenir photo alongside the Serbian.
