In the men’s pole vault, Ammirati looked to have cleared 5.70 metres.
But disaster struck as his private parts clipped the bar and knocked it down with him.
It meant the Frenchman narrowly missed on qualifying for the final – but he is now an internet sensation.
Ammirati was devastated as his Olympics dream was shattered – though he now sees the funny side.
He took to social media to reference his now famous bulge, posting a clip of himself blankly staring into space while eating alongside the caption: “POV: You make more buzz for your package than for your performances.”
On a more serious note, the gold medal winner at the World Under-20 Championships admitted he was carrying an injury as he crashed out in Paris.
Ammirati said: “It’s a big disappointment. I’m a bit gutted because I didn’t miss anything on the third attempt at 5.70m.
“What I did miss was a bit of jumping in training to fine-tune the settings. Just a technical session.

“I had to give up the last two after a small grade one in the adductor.
“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 play with the public. I was almost there.”
