French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati has admitted to being “disappointed” and “gutted” after having his own body sabotage him at the Olympic Games this weekend.
Ammirati cleared two bars before looking to vault himself over the 5.70-meter height and appeared to be well on his way, but his privates smacked the bar to take it down with him as he fell to the mat in a look of dejection.
He would finish 12th in his group and miss out on a chance to progress, which means he will not have an opportunity to win a medal.
Clips of the attempt went viral on social media, with users making all sorts of jokes about the hilarious mishap.
