The 2019 foil world champion and Rio 2016 silver medallist likes the spontaneous side of his sport: "I don't like to control everything. Depending on the situation, I like to go off the beaten track and take my opponent by surprise," Lefort said. The 29-year-old is also a passionate photographer and just published a photo book to show the diversity in a sport often considered elitist.
