#跳高梦碎 - When physiological characteristics become an unexpected stumbling block for athletes

Embarrassed! The France pole vaulter missed out on a medal when a male organ hit the pole

Oh, my God! Who would have thought that a small physiological trait would become the Achilles' heel of a promising athlete? This is simply unheard of! But then again, can athletes really be blamed for this kind of thing? Can't you blame those who design sportswear?

France pole vault rookie Anthony · Amirati suffered an embarrassing surprise in the Olympic qualifying round. The 21-year-old was in fine form, finishing 5.95m at the France National Championships. But who knows, at the critical moment, his "little brother" has become his "stumbling block".

#意外总是来得猝不及防

On the day of the race, Amirati looked in good form. He easily passed the first two jumps, and the audience thought he would make it to the finals. But when he was about to challenge for a height of 5.70 meters, an accident happened. I saw him running and jumping, and everything seemed perfect, but just as he was about to cross the crossbar, his genitals hit the crossbar impartially.

With a "bang", the crossbar fell. There was an uproar, and the audience couldn't believe their eyes. Some exclaimed, some covered their mouths and snickered, and some showed sympathetic expressions. Amirati herself looked even more confused, looking embarrassed and depressed.

In the end, Amirati could only finish 12th with a time of 5.60m, missing out on the final. After the game, he walked away from the arena with his head down and didn't even answer an interview. Poor young man, I guess I won't be able to raise my head for a few days, right?

#运动员的烦恼, do you understand?

The incident sparked a heated discussion on social media. Some people sympathized with Amirati, saying that no one could have expected such an accident; Some people also joked that this is really "losing at the starting line". Another person joked: "It seems that in the future, in addition to looking at height and leg length, you will have to consider 'other sizes' when selecting pole vaulters."

However, some professionals pointed out that such accidents are not uncommon. A retired pole vaulter revealed: "To be honest, this kind of thing happens a lot when we train. It's just that most of the time it's not so unlucky, just in time for the game. "

He also explained that pole vaulting is a sport that requires extreme physical coordination. Athletes need to complete a series of complex movements such as running, jumping, and aerial movements in a very short time. If you are not careful, you may have all kinds of accidents.

#运动服装设计, maybe it's time to "upgrade"?

The accident also sparked a discussion about sportswear design. Some experts say that current pole vault sportswear may not adequately take into account the physiology of male athletes. They suggested that protective design could be added in key areas to protect the athlete without compromising performance.

One costume designer said: "It's not just about pole vaulting, many sports face similar challenges. We need to find a balance between protection, comfort and athletic performance. "

However, there are also those who hold a different view. They believe that excessive protection can affect the performance of athletes. One coach said: "The physical fitness and technical level of the athletes are the most important thing. If you change your costume design because you are worried about this small probability event, it may affect your normal performance. "

#运动员的心理压力, can you relate to it?

To be honest, Amirati's experience this time was not a small blow. Think about it, how frustrating is it for a young lad to finally have the opportunity to show his skills in a world-class competition, only to fall short because of this embarrassing accident?

Some psychologists have analyzed that this experience can take a serious toll on an athlete's self-confidence. They suggested that Amiratti's coaches and teammates should give him more psychological support to help him get out of the haze as soon as possible.

However, there are also those who are optimistic. A veteran sports commentator said: "For top athletes, setbacks are commonplace. The key is how to learn from your failures and come out stronger. I believe Amirati has the ability. "

#意外之后, how to make a comeback?

Although the result of this contest is disappointing, Amirati's potential is undoubted. You know, he jumped 5.95m at the National Championships! This defeat may have been just a minor episode in his career.

Historically, similar accidents have not been uncommon. At the Rio 2016 Olympics, Japan's Daichi Sawano made a mistake because his genitals touched the crossbar. However, he later relocated and won gold at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics.

Experts suggest that Amirati should use the experience as an opportunity to learn. Together with the coaching team, he can analyze the causes of mistakes and adjust training methods and game strategies. At the same time, you should also learn how to better control your body and reduce the possibility of similar accidents.

Personal reviews

To be honest, seeing what happened to Amirati made me both amused and distressed. As an ordinary person, it can be difficult for us to appreciate the pressure of a top athlete. They put in so much sweat and effort, but they may fall short because of a small accident. I'm afraid that only those who have experienced it can truly understand this feeling, right?

But then again, don't athletes have to face all kinds of challenges and difficulties? Perhaps it is these unexpected setbacks that make them stronger. I am sure that Amirati will learn from this experience and will perform better in the future. After all, talent and hard work can't fool people.

Finally, I hope that this matter can attract the attention of relevant departments. Maybe it's time to revisit sportswear design? After all, isn't it more important to keep athletes safe so that they can perform to their full potential?
