Pole Dancing As an Olympic Sport 28
If 29-year-old world pole dancing champion Mai Sato gets her wish, her sport will finally get the non-sweaty attention it deserves. Along with many other dancers, Sato would like to see pole dancing become an Olympic event. Ania Przeplasko, the founder of the International Pole Dancing Fitness Association, thinks it's only a matter of time before you'll be able to watch pole tricks from the comfort of your living room. She says, "There will be a day when the Olympics see pole dancing as a sport. The Olympic community needs to acknowledge the number of people doing pole fitness now. We're shooting for 2012."
Great Idea! (Score:4, Insightful)
This is a terrific idea. Finally, exotic dancers will be able to aspire to Olympic greatness.
But this brings me to my question of how, exactly, this event would be judged. I submit that instead of being judged on a 5- or 10-point scale, the contestants should have dollar bills thrown at them. Whoever earns the most wins the gold.
