This man's Penis Crashed his Rio Olympic Hopes (Video)

A Japanese athlete's attempt to qualify for the Men's Pole Vault at the 2016 Rio Olympics crashed after his penis got in the way.

Hiroki Ogita was attempting to clear a height of 5.3 metres in the qualifying rounds on Saturday when his leg - then his penis - came in contact with the bar.

According to Reuters, Ogita’s penis caught on the pole, knocking it off as he fell into the crash mat.

Ogita was only able to clear a height of 5.45 metres in his last round, relegating him to 21st place and ending his Rio campaign.
