00:07During the men's qualifying event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, August 3rd, the French athlete's
00:13manhood dislodges the crossbar, sending it crashing down.
00:18With Anthony visibly upset by his own package betraying him, the 21-year-old clutches his
00:23head in disappointment at coming in at 15th place in the competition.
00:28Later reacting to his elimination in a statement posted by the French Athletics Federation
00:33saying,
00:34It's a big disappointment.
00:35I'm a bit gutted.
00:37It's the first time I've started a competition without any stress.
00:41As I was a total outsider, I only had one goal.
00:45To play with the public.
00:47I was almost there.
00:49And while Anthony may have not won at the Olympics, he sure won over the internet.
00:53With the French athlete's flub going viral on social media.

00:59I mean, if you're going to be famous for losing a pole vault, this is the way to do it.
01:04Another chimes in with some seemingly French-themed humor posting,
01:08Oh, he brought that baguette to the games.
01:11And finally, one user shares a message of encouragement with Anthony, letting him know
01:16winning isn't everything, saying,
01:19He's going to stroll out of this Olympics with more ladies phone numbers than medals.

01:30And it's sure to be a competition he'll remember for a very long time.
