The 2024 Paris Olympics held their Male Pole Vaulting event on Saturday August 3rd, where eager athletes awaited their moment to show the world what they were made of. Among them was France’s Anthony Ammirati, who had been training for years for this very moment. Unfortunately for the 21 year old, upon his third attempt at clearing the 5.70cm bar, he ran into a mishap that would leave commentators struggling to describe exactly what happened.
No one can predict when a viral moment will grace social media, but that’s precisely what took place as this athlete lost his chance to win his first Olympic medal… because his dick was too big. Video footage of Anthony’s bulge costing him the clearance needed for placement flooded sites like X (formerly known as Twitter.)

Ammirati would later address the mishap, telling the French Athletics Federation “it’s a big disappointment, I’m a bit gutted. It’s the first time I attacked a competition without any stress.” However, this setback quickly turned on its head as the pole vaulter’s Instagram account shot up by 182,000 followers after the incident, making him a household name faster than winning the gold would have. Talk about raising the bar!
This newfound fame went on to catch the attention of the vice president of pornographic site CamSoda, Dylan Parker, who said in a letter obtained by US Weekly “As a lover of crotch-centric activities, I’d love to offer you up to $250,000 US in exchange for a 60-minute webcam show, in which you show off your goods, minus the crossbar, of course.”
As of Aug 6th, there is no word on Ammirati’s response to the offer, but it’s safe to say the French pole vaulter has gained a lengthy list of supporters. Here’s hoping both of your poles will lead you to victory at the next Olympic Games.
