17 hilarious tweets about the bulge that bulldozed one pole vaulter's Olympic dreams

The bar actually wound up getting completely knocked off, although as People pointed out, Ammirati actually knocked into the thing with his knees and shins first.

But getting booted from the Olympics thanks to a bangin' bulge makes a much better story, especially as it spreads like wildfire across the internet.

After the initial shock wore off, the audacious headlines started to roll in. As did the attention — Ammirati allegedly gained over 100,000 new followers on Instagram after his flop. TMZ reports he's already gotten a quarter million dollar offer from a porn site. And the pole vaulter's new hoards of fans had an absolute field day with both the video clip and the parade of jokes and memes that were too good to pass up.
