French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati has been offered a hefty sum by an adult website after half the world witnessed his little friend ruin his chances of winning a medal in Paris for his home nation.
Ammirati had hoped to make the final, having successfully cleared the 5.40 meter and 5.60-meter bars, but had a rather unfortunate finish to his attempt at the 5.70 meter bar.

His third attempt came the closest to being successful, however, his penis clipped the bar as he flipped over it, bringing it crashing down with him.
And of course, with so many cameras on him, the whole incident was caught in agonizing slow motion.
Watch the awkward moment below:After the clip made the rounds online, the athlete spoke out about the incident, stating that he was "gutted" about the outcome.
"I’m a bit gutted because I didn’t miss anything on the third attempt at 5.70 m," he told the French Athletics Federation. "What I did miss was a bit of jumping in training to fine-tune the settings. Just a technical session.
"I was 100 percent physically, but I was missing a bit of pole vault," he continued. "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 interact with the audience.
"I was almost there," he added.

But all is not lost as Ammirati has been offered a new job in an entirely different industry thanks to the clipping of his manhood on one of the world's biggest stages.
According to TMZ, the vice president of CamSoda Daryn Parker recently sent the 21-year-old a message outlining a deal that states that he will receive "$250,000 in exchange for a 60-minute webcam show."
“If it was up to me, I’d award you for what everyone else saw: your talent below the belt," he allegedly wrote in the offer. “As a lover of crotch-centric activities, I’d love to offer you up to $250,000 in exchange for a 60-minute webcam show in which you show off your goods, minus the crossbar, of course."
According to the outlet, Parker also explained that Ammirati wouldn’t have to worry about his compression shorts not doing their job... yikes.
But what an offer, am I right?
Ammirati has yet to respond to the offer, but I'm sure after his performance at the Olympics, many will be begging the star to take the up on it.
