‘Manhood mishap’ brings down Olympic medal hopes
The Mirror called it a “manhood mishap”, others have described it as “battle of the bulge” and having a “hard” time. As reported on the indy100 website:
French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati has seen his Olympic dreams go up in smoke after his manhood cost him a medal but he can rest easy as he has become an instant online star.
The 21-year-old French athlete was attempting to clear the 5.70 metre mark on his third at the Paris games but failed to do and he can blame a sensitive part of his body for the result.
Even though Ammirati had made it over the bars his own genitals caught the bar on the way down, thus knocking it off and eliminating him from any potential medal hopes.
