No medal, but very popular now back in Japan

A Japanese pole vaulter in the Olympics in Rio failed to move on to the finals because of something that has held a lot of men back, but not in exactly this fashion: his dick got in the way. Lots of guys let the wrong head to their thinking and experience various kinds of failure as a result, but this athlete's problems with his dick are a little different:

Japanese pole vaulter Hiroki Ogita will be ruing the size of his phallus after it caused him to foul during the qualifying rounds at the Rio Olympics.
Ogita was attempting to clear a height of 5.3 meters (17.3 feet) in group A of the first round of the pole vault, when his leg came in contact with the bar. As he began to drop back down toward the ground, his shin grazed the bar, causing it to wobble dangerously.
But it was his penis that delivered the final blow. Already unsteady, the bar was dislodged from its holdings when Ogita’s old fellow decided to make an appearance and slap the metal. The vaulter’s arm then collected the bar as it began to fall.

No, really, it was his dick. Check it out:

I guess if you have to miss out on a chance at an Olympic medal, telling the folks back home "my dick was too big" is better than most excuses.
