French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati went viral over the weekend after his baguette knocked the pole off, and subsequently ruined his dreams of taking home an Olympic gold medal.
Now he’s spoken out, although decided not to specifically mention the incident itself: “It’s a big disappointment. 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 was 100% physically, but I was missing a bit of pole vault. 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 crowd. I was almost there.”
In case you missed the moment, rewatch it here. Along with a video of another young sportsman suffering from the same big dick debility.
And it seems he really can’t hide that thang…
