Japanese athlete Hiroki Ogita denies Olympic pole vault penis claim
Online Edition
JAPANESE pole vaulter Hiroki Ogita has described his bewilderment after reports his penis had prevented him from progressing in the Rio Olympics went viral, BBC reported.
A video of him hitting the bar with what looked to some like his penis under his shorts quickly went viral online. His leg had already made contact with the bar but his arm finished the job.
"I never expected the foreign media to take me down like this," the 28-year-old athlete tweeted.
"It's one thing if it was true, but I have to say I'm pretty devastated that they'd go so far to make something up to mock and ridicule me so much."
A pole vaulting expert reportedly told the BBC he thought it was a case of an unfortunate camera angle.
