As the Frenchman prepared to relinquish his pole, his own manhood grazed the bar with enough force to send it crashing to the floor, thus ending his hopes of a medal.
I mean of all the reasons to not medal at The Olympics, “My penis was too big and it got in the way” is a solid reason.
One pole ruined the other.
Edit: hopefully this will inspire some consolation fun in Olympic Village before he goes home. If he’s into that.
I’ve never encountered a more famous, talentless “musician” in my life.
If only he had consulted some drag queens before the competition…
can you tuck it away and still run at olympic speeds?
Only once
Probably not. Even if you could, I wouldn’t recommend trying. Part of “tucking” involves pushing your balls up into the space they inhabited before puberty. That can be very dangerous and has a higher-than-average chance of leading to testicular torsion, which can require surgery or even amputation. I’d be very concerned about the athlete’s testicles getting jostled around and twisting while they’re competing.
Also, in my (admittedly limited) experience, it’s not very comfortable.
Then again, there might be athletic trans women who’ve figured out how to tuck without risking torsion.
Also, the heels.
Wear really high kinky boots and just step over the bar
Just boof your balls
Pretty much lol
tuck it away
Isn’t that a punch in the dick.
Honestly that is a more memorable legacy.
And this is why I’m happy to be a grower instead of a shower
I mean, who here hasn’t lost out on Olympic medals when their junk got in the way?

No, a French Pole Vaulter Did Not Lose Out on an Olympic Medal Because of His Crotch
The internet blamed Anthony Ammirati’s “bulge” for ending his Olympic dreams — but the vaulter knocked down the crossbar with another appendage
French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati won’t be moving on to the men’s pole vault final at the Paris Olympics — but contrary to speculation, it has nothing to do with his crotch.
Ammirati, 21, went viral on Saturday, Aug. 3 after a video of one of his pole vault attempts made it look like he failed to clear the bar because of his “bulge,” which seemed to knock down the crossbar. The theory quickly picked up steam and spread like wildfire on social media and through headlines, but a closer look at the video shows that was not actually the case.
During the jump, Ammirati tries to clear the bar but first hits it with his shins and then his knees. It’s already a failed jump, but to add injury (presumably) to insult, Ammirati knocks the bar off fully after he hits it with his crotch.
So he jostled it with other parts but knocked it off with his crotch… yet the article is trying to say he didn’t. Even though the last line says that’s what finished it.
That’s some journalism there.
Didn’t know the rules, was the jump already violated by his body otherwise hiring the bar, regardless of when it fell? If so the articles subject that he didn’t lose due to his crotch would hold.
“A successful pole vault is when the athlete clears the bar without dislodging it.”
that’s gotta be hard.
I’m sure someone got a rise out of it.
