French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati was about to win an Olympic medal when his bulge proved to be too big for the moment. Our deepest sympathies (or congrats?) to Ammirati.

From The Daily Beast:
The 21-year-old was attempting to clear a 5.70m bar when God got in the way.
The pole vaulter appeared to have propelled past the height of the bar, but when he contorted his body around, he didn’t, apparently, give enough clearance for his, um, entire member to clear it entirely.
A slow-motion video that, if we’re being honest, deserves Oscar consideration for best short film, reveals that, as Ammirati was falling back to the ground, the bulge in his spandex caught the bar. (If I had a nickel, amiright?)
Ammirati ended up finishing 12th in his qualifying group, but, based on what I’ve seen on social media, has won the gold medal in going viral.
When you’re about to win an Olympic medal but your massive junk gets in the way while the whole world watches in slow motion. In the final tally, Ammirati came in 15th. However, according to OUT, Ammirati started this Saturday, August 3 with 6,355 followers on Instagram and at this writing the French pole vaulter has already surpassed 55K followers.
Couldn’t resist adding a cartoon boing to Anthony Ammirati’s pole vault. What a way to clip the bar fair play to the guy. pic.twitter.com/wGPtco2fy6
