Earth swallow me: throw the bar at the Olympic Games with this body part and the networks react

In the qualifying round for the final of Paris 2024 Olympic Games of pole vault One of the most viral photos of the first eight days of the event was created. The main character, the French athlete Anthony Ammiratiwho did not have a day and did not make it to the long-awaited final in front of his fans.

He was unable to clear 5 meters 60 centimeters in his attempts, leaving him just 10 centimeters short of classification. And one of his failures happened when he threw the pole with his penis, something that quickly spread like a bubble in the networks, where the ingenuity of users reappeared.

In the video you will see how the 21 year old French athlete (July 16, 2003, Grasse) passed the bar and seemed to be able to raise his score in that qualifying round to continue dreaming of qualification, But when he was going down, he grabbed the bar with his private parts and it fell, so his attempt was invalid.

What happened to Ammirati is not new in this discipline, where any touch on any part of the body can lower the bar. Without going any further, at Rio 2016 Japan’s Hiroki Oginta went viral for the same reason, by breaking the bar with his ‘noble’ side.

France, no representative in the final

Anthony Ammirati is the European Under-20 pole vault champion in 2021 and one of three French participants in two qualifying groups. In particular, he jumped in Group A, ending the classification with 5.60, while his compatriot Thibaut Collet was eliminated with 5.70, the same mark achieved by the last two qualifiers for the final in said group. In Group B, Frenchman Robin Emig stayed at 5.40 and France was left without a local representative in the pole vault final of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
