The Associated Press

PARIS (AP) — When Novak Djokovic’s first berth in an Olympics tennis final was secured, when he was assured of a chance to win the gold medal that’s missing from his lengthy list of accomplishments, he fell back on the clay, limbs spread apart — the sort of pose generally reserved for securing a championship.

2024 Paris Olympics: Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz reignite rivalry for gold medal at Roland Garros

21-year-old French Olympics pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati may not have won a medal, but he made a very big impression on viewers. Let me start by saying that our hearts go out to 21-year-old French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati. For everything these athletes sacrifice to compete with the world's best for top honors, they deserve some serious respect – and even more knowing that so many will make it oh so close, only to be denied. With that said, how Ammirati missed his target height and failed his qualifying track for the final is getting a lot more attention today than some of the actual medal winners. As you'll be able to check out in one of the many videos posted online, it wasn't that Ammirati wasn't on point in terms of his speed and approach – and it even looked promising for him on the way up. But then… hmmm. What's the best way to put this? How about this? The pole vaulter ended up being done in by his own "big pole" (we're dropping some ten-ton innuendo there to get the point across).
