The pole vaulter’s bulge gets stuck on the bar, knocking him out of the Olympics
A pole vaulter walks away empty-handed because his pole is defective… no, not the one he uses to jump – the one that’s barely in his leotard!
Anthony Ammirati – a prominent French pole vaulter – had his first heat Saturday morning… and although he expected to flip the bar and end up in the final, he ended up catching his smaller pole on the bar.
French athlete Anthony Ammirati failed because of his ace in the pole vault at 5.70. #I LOOK #Paris2024 https://t.co/qWnr1QbFzy

Check out the video… AA goes up fine, but when he comes back down, he knocks the bar down with his impressive bump — and down comes the bar.
The penis push prevented Ammirati from completing the 5.70 meters, which could be enough to put him in the next heat… and put him one step closer to competing for a medal.
Instead, Anthony’s Olympic dreams came true… all because he couldn’t put everything away neatly.
By the way…the high-water mark in the pole vault was 18 feet (5.75 meters) – a difference of less than a foot from Ammirati’s score. Size really mattered here!
Moral of the story… keep those hips far away from the bar — or maybe start flexing like the stars of “RuPaul’s Drag Race!!!”
