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.

The Frenchman has since broken his silence, admitting his disappointment, and also revealing he was dealing with a hip injury.
“It’s a big disappointment,” he said, per The US Sun. “I’m a bit gutted, because I didn’t miss anything on the third attempt at 5.70 m. What I did miss was a bit of jumping in training to fine-tune the settings. Just a technical session.
“I had to give up the last two, because after a small grade one in the adductor, I prioritised the race. I was 100 percent physically, but I was missing a bit… The conditions were good. It’s the first time I’ve started a competition without any stress.
“As I was a total outsider, I only had one goal: to play with the public. I was almost there.”
Since pulling a pole down at the games, he has gained over 66,000 followers on Instagram and is likely to attract plenty more.
18-Year-Old High School Football Player Tragically Dies After Jumping Into “Electrified Lake” During 4th of July Celebrations

A Colorado high school football player is dead after jumping into a Virginia lake believed to have been electrified.
18-year-old Jesse Hamric was celebrating the Fourth of July holiday with family and friends at a private home with a dock bordering on Smith Mountain Lake in Huddleston and reportedly began struggling right after jumping into the water.
Two of his friends jumped in to save him and claimed to have felt an electric shock. Jesse was eventually extracted and received CPR but died at a local hospital later in the day.
Hamric and his two pals were all suspected to have been electrocuted, per local authorities. According to a report from the Daily Mail, the water was tested, and electricity was found.
Water can become electrified when faulty wiring releases energy into it. This can be caused by boats or docks. A boat lift near the scene could be responsible for the electricity, and investigators also believe that stray voltage from the privately owned dock could have caused it.
