French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati’s quest for an Olympic medal at the Paris Games came to an unexpected halt due to a bizarre mishap involving his crotch.

During his third attempt at clearing 5.70 meters in the qualification round, Ammirati’s manhood made contact with the bar, causing it to fall and ending his chances of advancing to the final.

Anthony Ammirati, who cleared 5.60 meters, finished 12th in Group A. The unusual end to his Olympic journey drew both surprise and amusement from spectators.

Ammirati’s French compatriots, Robin Emig and Thibaut Collet, also failed to advance past the qualifying rounds.

A visibly disappointed Collet remarked, “When people say that the Games are different, well, it really is different. 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.”

Meanwhile, no British athletes competed in the men’s pole vault, but Molly Caudery is anticipated to be a strong contender in the women’s event.

The qualifying rounds for the women’s pole vault will begin on Monday, with the final scheduled for two days later.

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

Merson wants Arsenal to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and a new midfielder.

“I would get a centre forward this summer, I would go for Julian Alvarez,” Merson said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Arsenal is expected to bolster its squad in the summer after winning the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City this season.

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
