The Paris 2024 Olympic Games continue to leave us with memorable images. Some of them were experienced this Saturday, such as the gold medal in the 100-meter dash by Julian Alfred, the queen of speed, who gave Saint Lucia, a country of 180,000 inhabitants, its first Olympic medal.
Another of the images of the day was the comeback and final victory of the Dutch athlete Femke Bol in the mixed 4×400 metres race. A participation in which she went from being in fourth position at the start to overtaking the United States and taking the gold.
But these Olympic Games will also be remembered for the action of French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati while taking part in the event at the Stade de France.
With the bar at 5.70 metres, the French athlete tried to surpass the mark and, although he was close to doing so, a problem caused him to touch the limit and his jump ended up being null.
The athlete, who had already completed most of the exercise, touched the bar with his private parts and was left without the chance to achieve the goal set during the qualifying round for the final.
The scene has become one of the most talked about so far in the Paris Olympic Games and reactions have multiplied in recent hours.
