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).

Olympic gymnasts have a propensity to make extraordinary feats look routine. Yet, a slim margin of error separates beauty from disaster. Women's gymnastics consists of four events: the vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise. The balance beam, exclusive to women's gymnastics, is one of the more daunting events to master. The beam is roughly 16 feet long and approximately four feet off the ground.
