What you saying when it comes to the most dangerous Olympic sport then, lads? Fencing? Boxing? Weightlifting? One that might not spring to mind at first is the pole vault, but after watching this clip I think you might have a change of heart.

Hiroki Ogita of Japan failed to move past the qualifying round of the Rio Olympics pole vaulting competition on Saturday.

This was due in part to his penis, which tragically for him, knocked the pole down and left him in agony.

Have a look at this gif that shows the extent of his agony in slow motion...

Fucking hell, that's got to hurt.

First his leg knocks the bar, meaning he could be out of the competition if it falls. Next his dick slams into it, leaving the bar tumbling down and him sore in the morning.

Because I'm a sadistic bastard, here's a screenshot of the exact moment the pain hits him...

We've all been there at one time or another.

Surprisingly, this isn't the first groin related injury to occur during the Olympic pole vault. Take a look at this one from the 2000 Sydney Olympics...

My advice, if you're looking to take up athletics stick to something with less chance of personal injury.
