I sent Gwendal a text message on August 2 to ask how his vacation was. He traveled to the island of Mauritius off the coast of Africa.
He replied that he was “still on” vacation but that he had broken his foot in three places. Gwendal has a triple fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone. This happened on the third day of his vacation. He has a plaster cast on his leg and cannot put pressure on the foot. So, if you happen to be in Lyon, take your Sharpie marker and autograph his cast.
I phoned him this past week to get the gory details. Gwendal said that he leapt over a stage monitor that was shorter on the side nearest him but longer on the side away from him. He did not realize that it was longer on the other side. He said that he heard the crack of his foot breaking as he landed on the monitor. Gwendal said that he fainted shortly thereafter because he hadn’t had anything to eat that day. He then laughed that had he just stepped over it, instead of being in a hurry, he wouldn’t have broken his foot. He was taken to a clinic for treatment. He started laughing when he told me that the doctor who treated him was Russian.
He did get to do some diving (once) before he broke his foot. Suffice it to say, Gwendal was FORCED to relax on his vacation.

Gwendal sent the following photos of his vacation... I already phoned to yell at him for doing spirals while balancing with his crutches!!! I guess he was feeling a little better! The young lady is Elsa Raymond who is a ballet dancer.
