French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati had an unexpected mishap during his Saturday competition. As he soared over the bar, his seemingly rather large penis collided with it, knocking it down.
The commentators struggled to describe the scene, leaving awkward pauses as they noted it wasn't due to insufficient height, but rather on his descent. They avoided mentioning the specific body part involved.
While the television commentators did not quite know what to say, X users were not shy about discussing the situation.
“When you’re about to win an Olympic medal but your massive d*ck gets in the way while the whole world watches in slow motion,” PoNY wrote on X, alongside a video of the moment.
Witty comments flooded in, including “Heck of a pole… vault,” “When you lose but you still kinda win” and “Unlucky but also good flex.” Referencing the Olympic Village's reputation, SlasheR joked, “I am sure he will be compensated at the Olympic Village.”
TheGamingGarage chimed in, “He broke the rules; you can only use one pole.” Some users related personally, while others playfully distanced themselves from the situation.
“21-year-old French pole-vaulter Anthony Ammirati may have lost out on Olympic Gold, but I see big things in his future,” UsuallySteve quipped.
Several users suggested tucking techniques, while others referenced another Olympic pair whose names sparked online jokes when displayed together.
