Zak Stolz suffered an embarrassing - and painful-looking - wedgie during Wednesday's TV special, Australian Ninja Warrior: Record Breakers.
Just a day after winning the title of 2021 Australian Ninja Warrior, the 21-year-old broke a record when he climbed to the top of the show's super salmon ladder.
Zak managed to climb 35 rungs in just 32 seconds, but it didn't come without a fair amount of pain, with his harness digging into his crotch.
Ouch: Zak Stolz suffered an embarrassing - and painful-looking - wedgie during Wednesday's TV special, Australian Ninja Warrior: Record Breakers
After making it to the top, Zak suffered a 'major wedgie', clutching his crotch and pulling a series of pained faces, as he was lowered back down to the ground.
'He's got a major wedgie,' noted host Ben Fordham, while struggling to contain his laughter at Zak's discomfort.
He added: 'But that won't worry him, because he's the first Aussie Ninja to ever beat the super salmon ladder. In the process, he set an Australian record.'

Zak was crowned the winner during Tuesday's nail-biting finale of Australian Ninja Warrior.
He completed a gruelling course that saw most of the other competitors knocked out well before the final round.
Although he never made it to the fabled Mount Midoriyama - a 22-metre rope climb - Zak came the closest out of all the competitors.
