French Pole VaulterMy Pole Betrayed Me …Clips Bar with Privates!!!
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.
Instead, Anthony’s Olympic dreams are done … all because he couldn’t tuck everything away neatly.
BTW … the high water mark in the pole vault was 5.75 meters — a difference of less than a foot from Ammirati’s score. Size really did matter here!
Moral of the story … keep those hips well clear of the crossbar — or, maybe start tucking like the stars of “RuPaul’s Drag Race!!!”
