Here’s an obstacle Aengus Meldon of the National University of Ireland Galway never saw coming as he approached the finish line.
An enormous rubber band used for warmups by the pole vaulters was accidentally shot onto Meldon, ruining his chances for first place.
Persist, though, he did, in a rather awkward fashion, accompanied by rather colorful commentary.
“It was like Spider-Man threw something at him,” the flabbergasted announcer said. “Spider-Man attacked him.”
