This pole vaulter may not have a medal, but he’s got our attention

I don’t care what anyone says … that guy was the only winner in the olympics .

[starrionx]

I went to the Olympics and all I got was the best PR in history.

[TheRealThomasPaine]

For the rest of his life, he'll have the best pick up line of any guy in the world

[jopo]

He's the only competitor that could show up to the event without equipment and win.

[rmsmith]

He was the big winner in the village that night.

Pole vaulting: it's a lot harder than you think.

[ganmerlad]

Male swimmers started shaving their entire bodies to swim a bit faster. It looks like male pole vaulters are going to have to start tucking to give them more distance from the pole. ;)

What's so funny is yeah, his knee touched first, but it didn't move much from that. It was his baguette that really flung that pole 😂

[kevmagill]

He's the definition of an OLYMPIAN!

[KacyLatham]

Well, a billion women just looked over at their partners and said, you would have cleared it baby.

[PrisonMike-mcqm]

This wouldn't be a story if it were the winter Olympics...

[Legit_leigh]

So he won in other ways. Whatever “team” he’s on he’s got a lot of admirers

[vinista]

Kosta is the PERFECT cast member to deliver this story.

[SportsBoss]

That pole vaulter just got a marketing deal with Arby's . "We have the MEAT!"

[cjboyo]

Honestly go off king. I hope he’s having a rad time in the Olympic village

[sordidknifeparty]

Truly, the only gold medal that matters

[shamrockfile]

He didn’t lose, that video got him a gold medal with the women.

[elliotbrent]

Kostas is hilarious, he is perfect for this story 😝😂🤣😂🤣

[andyv]

He misunderstood the rules. Apparently you're only allowed to vault off one pole per jump.

[avasonsyn]

That right there is better than any gold medal.
