A pole vaulter’s strolling away empty-handed as a result of his pole malfunctioned … no, not the one he makes use of to vault — the one barely contained by his leotard!
Anthony Ammirati — a outstanding French pole vaulter — had his first warmth Saturday morning … and, whereas he anticipated to flip over the bar and land within the closing, he ended up catching his smaller vaulting pole on the crossbar.

Try the clip … AA goes up simply superb, however when he is coming again down he finally ends up knocking the bar down together with his spectacular bulge — and down comes the bar.
Due to the penis push, Ammirati could not clear 5.70 meters which can have been sufficient to place him within the subsequent warmth … and ship him one step nearer to competing for a medal.
As a substitute, Anthony’s Olympic goals are executed … all as a result of he could not tuck the whole lot away neatly.
BTW … the excessive water mark within the pole vault was 5.75 meters — a distinction of lower than a foot from Ammirati’s rating. Measurement actually did matter right here!
Morale of the story … preserve these hips properly away from the crossbar — or, possibly begin tucking like the celebs of “RuPaul’s Drag Race!!!”
