The viral French pole vaulter who was prevented from winning an Olympic medal due to a very specific body part has been offered a huge deal from an adult site.

Anthony Ammirati, 21, attempted to clear the 5.70 metres at the Paris Olympics on Saturday (3 August), but in a rather unfortunate mishap, the athlete's bulge got caught on the bar.

Sadly for Ammirati, the blunder meant that he finished 12th and missed out on qualifying for the next round.

Social media was quick to respond to the incident, with one writing online: "Man, that's a tough way to lose out on the Olympics. But also, uh, quite the unique reason! Wonder how that conversation went with the coach."

While another said: “He’s got to learn to pack better before he travels.”

And a third joked: "Will he make it to the semis?"

Ammirati has also spoken out on what happened, although he didn't address the mishap specifically.

He told the French Athletics Federation: “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.”

The athlete, who won gold at the World Athletics U20 Championships in 2022, continued: “I was 100 percent 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 interact with the audience. I was almost there.”

As they say, one door closes and another opens, because Ammirati has now been offered a new venture, although it's in a very different field.

According to TMZ, adult site CamSoda is offering the athlete a $250,000 (£196,000) deal in exchange for a 60-minute 'webcam show'.

Vice president Daryn Parker told TMZ: "If it was up to me, I’d award you for what everyone else saw, your talent below the belt.

"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."

Back to the Olympics, sadly, Ammirati's teammate Thibaut Collet also didn't qualify after coming 11th.

"When people say that the Games are different, well, it really is different," he said.

"I thought it wouldn't necessarily affect me by arriving with potentially the third world performance of the year, but that doesn't mean anything.

"Today, I missed my competition. I knew that this qualification was going to be tough and now I'm taking it in the face. The Olympic Games are over. I'm going to pack my bags before going home."
