The Daily Beast reports:
The world is extending its deepest sympathies to an Olympic hopeful whose dreams were dashed on Saturday. Or, maybe, its congratulations. You know that thing that happens all the time, where your penis is just so big it prevents you from winning a medal at the Olympics? I know, right? Same. And thats what happened to our brother, French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati on Saturday at the Paris Games.
The pole vaulter appeared to have propelled past the height of the bar, but when he contorted his body around, he didnt, apparently, give enough clearance for his, um, entire member to clear it entirely. A slow-motion video that, if were 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.

Well, he wanted one thing, his junk another. I suppose they were pole-r opposites?
Pole goes up, pole comes down. You can't explain that.
Ok. I'm done now.

Same with gymnastics, I'd guess. Too much up top ruins the center of gravity.
