BDE — but too big. 

French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati went viral after his “big” bulge got him cut from the 2024 Paris Olympics on Saturday. 

As the 21-year-old athlete vaulted himself into the air, his package — which was highlighted by his skin-tight uniform — hit the crossbar, causing it to crash to the floor along with his dreams of winning an Olympic medal.
