French pole vaulter gets offer from adult site after viral Olympic moment

French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati’s Olympic dreams were dashed not by his athletic performance but by an unexpected and highly unusual mishap. During the group rounds of the pole vault competition, Ammirati’s bid for Olympic glory was thwarted when his crotch knocked down the crossbar, preventing him from advancing to the finals. Despite the disappointment, this incident has opened the door to an entirely different kind of opportunity.

Ammirati, who was competing on home soil, finished 12th in his group and failed to secure a spot in the pole vault final, a significant letdown for the athlete and his supporters. “It’s a big disappointment,” Ammirati expressed to the French Athletics Federation.

The incident quickly went viral, with many viewers and commentators noting the unusual cause of his failed attempt. In the wake of his Olympic heartbreak, Ammirati has been offered a surprising chance to capitalize on his newfound fame.

CamSoda, a well-known adult entertainment platform, extended a $250,000 (P14.4 million pesos) offer to the athlete for a 60-minute webcam show. Daryn Parker, Vice President of CamSoda, reached out to Ammirati with the lucrative proposal.

“If it was up to me, I’d award you for what everyone else saw, your talent below the belt. “As a lover of crotch-centric activities, I’d love to offer you up to $250,000 in exchange for a 60-minute webcam show, in which you show off your goods, minus the crossbar, of course,” Parker was quoted as saying in a report published by TMZ Sports.

In the letter sent by CamSoda, the executive of the adult site explained that Ammirati could participate in the show without the hindrance of his athletic gear, allowing him to showcase what inadvertently made him an internet sensation.

Ammirati previously opened up about his Olympic experience, expressing his frustration with his performance. “I’m a bit gutted because I didn’t miss anything on the third attempt at 5.70m,” he explained. “What I did miss was a bit of jumping in training to fine-tune the settings. Just a technical session.”
