if you go full screen and go frame by frame at the slow-mo part, the way it looked and just landed on the podium suggests it's cloth material and not paper. Paper would not droop over his fingers while still in his grasp unless it was really really old, worn paper, and still it would not have held that shape.

I don't think these were notes. It looks like a handkerchief.
