"It makes me laugh, it relaxes me a bit," Vacherot jokes about Rinderknech's cramps

The speeches by Arthur Rinderknech and Valentin Vacherot during the Shanghai ceremony were emotional and also relatively long.

Struck by cramps, Rinderknech collapsed to the ground and dropped his trophy while Vacherot was speaking. The Monegasque preferred to make light of it: "It makes me laugh, it relaxes me a bit."

Tournament medical staff then came to the Frenchman's aid and brought him a chair so he could sit down.
