Pole dancing holds world championships

“I just want to make people happy,” she said, wearing a bikini covered in white feathers and with angel wings. “But I like the Olympic idea. I think it is good that now we pole dancers aren’t just seen as strippers.”

Wow!!! how can i become a judge at this pole dancing thing? is there going to be a lap dance portion ?

Finally a competition where everyone wins.

Every guy here would like to have their own little pole dancer. How could you not.

Photos???

Anyone interested in broadening his/her horizon, go to Youtube and search for "Pole Dancing Like You've Never Seen It". It's a couple pole dancing. Sorry it's not sleazy.

is there going to be a lap dance portion ?

No. That will be part of the biathalon!

Anyway, nice to see something new.

Would that be in the summer or winter Olympics?

I saw a video of this... These people are awesome! Men and women both ... It's entertaining to watch, could be great new category for the olympics.

Hmmmm, pole dancing !!!! It's cool but the men's competition I really don't want to see. Just the ladies and for bonus points please have a lap dancing competition. I would voulnteer to sit in the sofa, and participate for the GOLD !!! yeah !!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What a load of BS. Pole dancing is a stipper's dance and to compare it with real Olympic athletics is absurd. Maybe the next trend will be to promote topless car washers or strip-o-gram services. The Olympic's is a series of games to honor the best of the best atheletes and not some freak show of odd perverted talent.

Hawkeye,

I guarantee that would guarantee a huge viewership of the Olympics. Probably move to pay per view.

I prefer sumo in olympics instead of this pervert entertainment.

Pervert entertainment...mmmmmm! :)

Pole dancing should become a compulsory part of the Japanese curriculum for girls.

Obviously, LoveUSA is turned on by sumos in their mawashi as much as the guys are turned on by the girls on their poles. Both pervy, heheh.

Yes please.

haters- have you ever TRIED pole dancing? that's some physically challenging stuff right there!

My 70 year old aunt sent me the link to the Youtube clip. I didn't look at it for a couple of days because I didn't think much of it, but after I watched it, I was pretty amazed what that couple could do and had a total new view regarding pole dancing.

"Pole dancing is a stipper's dance and to compare it with real Olympic athletics is absurd" - unfortunately this is no longer the case - from an exciting event, this has become dull and lifeless, not sexy at all. It is gymnastics now, and therefore lost it's punch.

There should be poles at every train station.

did anyone happen to catch the disabled segment of the competition?
