Rio 2016: Japanese Pole Vaulter Denies That His Dick And Balls Got Him Disqualified

Brazilian Thiago Da Silva left the pole vault finals with a gold medal and an Olympic record. Japanese pole vaulter, Hiroki Ogita left with a 21st-place finish and a dick foible seen ‘round the world. 

 Specifically, he mashed his dick and balls onto the pole vault bar on his way down from an ascent at 5.30 meters.

 

Pole Vault coach, David Yeo, told BBC that the bar was going down either way. The media noticing his hefty dong isn’t something I’d file under mockery and ridicule, but I do see his point, especially since it had nothing to do with his pole vaulting success or failure.

However, even if the widely-passed around conclusion that his swinging dick dislodged the bar was wrong, he did admit that the video was pretty funny.
