Sport: Pole vault

Anthony Ammirati vaulted into fame for more reasons than his athletic prowess. In what may end up becoming the biggest takeaway of Paris 2024, the French pole-vaulter failed to clear 5.70m — and thus failed to qualify for the final — because of what appeared to be a large bulge in his tight pants. Thousands of internet comedians had a field day with this information, setting social media ablaze with memes and comments. Such was the power of his “manhood” that the 21-year-old is being offered a whopping USD 250,000 to show it off on an adult website, as per TMZ. CamSoda vice president Daryn Parker reportedly sent Ammirati an offer letter outlining the deal, saying, “If it was up to me, I’d award you for what everyone else saw: your talent below the belt.”

Beyond this, Anthony’s chiseled jawline and captivating presence have garnered him a dedicated following. His recent performance at the European Championships showed his resilience and skill, making him a must-watch in Paris. Anthony isn’t just reaching new heights in pole vaulting; he’s also soaring in the popularity stakes. However, he was visibly unhappy with the final outcome of his stint, adding, “It’s a big disappointment.”

Sport: Diving

French rower Jules Bouyer has been making waves, both literally and figuratively. The French heartthrob has everyone talking about more than just his flawless dives. Picture this: a sunlit day at the Olympic pool in Paris, Jules, in a sleek Speedo, takes a dive that ends up making headlines not just for his form, but also for the impressive “bulge” that had fans and media in a frenzy. The internet exploded with comments and memes, turning this diving pro into an overnight sensation for reasons beyond his athletic skills.

This unexpected moment occurred when photographers captured Jules in a split second, leaving little to the imagination. TMZ couldn’t resist diving into the juicy details, with headlines buzzing about his “viral bulge” and the wave of attention that followed. Fans couldn’t get enough, and social media was flooded with admiration for this new icon.

But here’s the kicker — the diver handled the whole situation like a champ. In an interview with Reuters, he laughed off the frenzy, saying, “If some people find it amusing to look at my pants, that’s their problem. It amused me. That said, we mustn’t forget that it can take the athlete out of his bubble and that it can hurt. That wasn’t the case for me. It was rather fun. I prefer people to look at my dives rather than my briefs, but there’s nothing to worry about.” This mix of humility and humour only made fans fall deeper in love with him.

However, let’s not get too distracted by his viral moment. Jules recently snagged a bronze medal at the 2023 World Aquatic Championship and a silver one at the 2023 European Games, showing the world that his talent in the pool is as dazzling as his looks. With his chiselled physique, charming smile, and that memorable Speedo moment, the 22-year-old has captured Paris 2024 with more than just gold in his sights. Can he be considered one of the prettiest male Olympic athletes? Most definitely!

He’s not just a pretty face (or a well-fitted Speedo); Jules Bouyer is the complete package — talented, humble, and undeniably diving onto the list of the sexiest athletes at the Paris Olympics.
