Japanese pole vaulter Hiroki Ogita just lost his chance to win Olympic gold. As he was launching himself over the edge of the pole at the Rio Olympics last Saturday he hit an unfortunate snag: his own penis.

Ogita throw himself into 5.45m leap, his junk clips the bar, and his dreams hit the crash mat with his body. In the video above, Ogita looks like he may clear the jump, no problem. His knees gingerly caress the pole, but it doesn't waver.

The pole then somehow catches on the tip of his penis that's jutting out from his outfit. His member dislodges everything and causes Ogita's olympic dreams to be put on hold for another 4 years. Plenty of time to find a better fitting outfit.
