- Because the Frenchman clears the bar with his penis during his attempt over 5.70 meters, a video of his jump goes viral.
The bar fell and the scene went viral. A video of the pole vaulter's qualifying attempt at the Olympic Games in Paris has caused a stir on the internet. You can see it: The Frenchman Anthony Ammirati, who fails at the height of 5.70 meters and misses the final - in a very curious way.
Ammirati had already half cleared the bar, but touched it with his legs and finally cleared it completely - with his penis. A video of the 21-year-old's Olympic exit was shared and commented on several times on social media. It is "not the worst thing in the world to lose a gold medal at the Olympics because you have French baguette with you", wrote one user and posted several smiley faces. The Frenchman may have lost at the Games, but he won in life, said another.
Ammirati's medal dream has been shattered. However, the fact that such a mishap has also happened to other pole vaulters in the past might give him some consolation.
