Olympic pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati, who has gone viral after he faced an embarrassing 'crotch mishap', has now got an offer of an adult movie deal worth $250,000.
The social media users went into a frenzy after Ammirati in his infamous attempt to clear 5.70 metres got his bulge hitting the crossbar during the jump and lost a spot in the finals.
But this viral moment landed the athlete an offer of a whopping $250,000 on an adult website CamSoda, as reported by TMZ.

"As a lover of crotch-centric activities, I’d love to offer you up to $250,000 in exchange for a 60-minute webcam show, in which you show off your goods, minus the crossbar, of course," Parker added.
Reacting to the offer, one user of X said, “Anthony Ammirati may have lost his chance at the top spot at the Olympics but this guy is going to have about five million women to choose from after this."
“Even though he lost the game, in a way, he won his life,” another user said.
Ammirati ranked the 12th position but failed to clinch a spot in the finals.
Reacting after his elimination, the French athlete said, "It’s a big disappointment. I’m a bit gutted, because I didn’t miss anything on the third attempt at 5.70m."

"What I did miss was a bit of jumping in training to fine-tune the settings. Just a technical session. I had to give up the last two, because after a small grade one in the adductor, I prioritised the race. I was 100 per cent physically, but I was missing a bit...," he said.
"The conditions were good. It’s the first time I’ve started a competition without any stress. As I was a total outsider, I only had one goal: to play with the public. I was almost there," Ammirati said.
