Pole Vaulter’s Bulge Catches on Crossbar, Knocks Him Out of Olympics

A pole vaulter’s walking away empty-handed because his pole malfunctioned … no, not the one he uses to vault — the one barely contained by his leotard!

Anthony Ammirati — a prominent French pole vaulter — had his first heat Saturday morning … and, while he expected to flip over the bar and land in the final, he ended up catching his smaller vaulting pole on the crossbar.

Check out the clip … AA goes up just fine, but when he’s coming back down he ends up knocking the bar down with his impressive bulge — and down comes the bar.

Because of the penis push, Ammirati couldn’t clear 5.70 meters which may have been enough to put him in the next heat … and send him one step closer to competing for a medal.
