#Rio2016: Japanese pole vaulter’s Olympic journey ended by his penis

As the Rio Olympics enters its final week, we have seen our fair share of unfortunate accidents that resulted in gruesome injuries, namely Armenian weightlifter Andranik Karapetyan and French gymnast Samir Ait Said.

Pole vaulter Hiroki Ogita of Japan was recently added to the unwanted list, albeit in a more comical manner.

The 28-year-old failed his first try after two parts of his body touched the 5.3m high bar, first the legs and then the penis which knocked off the bar.

Ogita eventually cleared the bar on his 2nd attempt but he couldn’t make it to the finals as he only finished 21st.

The gif of the failed attempt was posted on Imgur and it has become viral with more than 4.5 million views as of press time.

I guess it’s safe to say that Ogita got c**k blocked here.
