A competitor who lost his qualifying spot in the men’s pole vault event after accidentally knocking the bar off with his genitalia has spoken up.
French competitor Anthony Ammirati had a less-than-stellar performance as he took the stage; his crotch smacked the bar.
After clearing the 5.40-and 5.60-meter bars, the 21-year-old was hoping to go to the final, but his 5.70-meter effort ended in a somewhat terrible fashion.
The bar came tumbling down with him when his penis clipped it on his third effort, which was the most near-successful attempt.
Naturally, the whole action was recorded in excruciating slow motion due to the abundance of cameras focused on him.
