French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati<\/strong> reacted to going viral during the 2024 Paris Olympics<\/a> when it appeared his crotch interfered with his jump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first-time Olympian, 21, shared a TikTok<\/a> video of himself staring off into space while enjoying lunch in the Olympic Village. Over the clip, which used the soundtrack \u201cSad Spongebob Music,\u201d he wrote in French, \u201cPOV: tu fais plus de buzz pour ton paquet que pour tes perfs.\u201d Translated, his post means, \u201cPOV: You create more buzz for your package than your performances.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJe sais pas trop si je dois le prendre bien ou pas du coup \ud83d\ude02 #olympics #paris2024,\u201d he added in the caption, which translated into English means, \u201cI don\u2019t really know if I should take it well or not \ud83d\ude02.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans rushed to the comments section to join in on the joke. \u201cA win is a win,\u201d several users wrote while someone else added, \u201cIt\u2019s a HUGE accomplishment.\u201d Another commenter urged Calvin Klein to \u201cgive this man an advertising campaign immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ammirati garnered worldwide attention during his pole vault heat at the 2024 Summer Olympics on August 3 when his bulge clipped the crossbar. The image spread on social media and his crotch became a hot topic of conversation, with many expressing sadness about his manhood possibly costing him a medal and landing him in 12th place. In actuality, Ammirati\u2019s bulge had nothing to do with him failing the jump. He first hit the bar with his shins, followed by his knees.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe 2024 Paris Olympics have created several picture-perfect moments since kicking off on July 26. Perhaps the most viral snap came during the third round of the men\u2019s surfing competition on July 29. After completing a barrel ride in Teahupo\u2019o, Tahiti, Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina soared in the air and pointed his finger toward the [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Olympian initially made no mention of his viral fame in a statement put out by the French Athletics Federation shortly after the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a big disappointment,\u201d he said. \u201cThe conditions were good. It\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve started a competition without any stress. As I was a total outsider, I only had one goal: to play with the audience. I was almost there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ammirati further noted that he was \u201cfrustrated\u201d by the results in a joint Instagram post with French sports academy Envol.<\/p>\n
