Making the Olympic Sport Cut....Is Pole Dancing Next????

 

Lots of people consider themselves athletes. But I NEVER in my life EVER considered pole-dancers as such. In fact, until I checked out this story on MSNBC, I always thought pole-dancers and strippers were one and the same! But I now stand corrected.  In fact, Tokyo held second annual Pole Dancing Fitness Championships, with competitors twirling, grinding, and sliding in from 11 different countries!!! Now, its too late to try to get this event added to the 2012 Summer Olympic program, but pole-dancers everywhere are uniting to gain the International Olympic Committee's stamp of approval and recognition that Pole Dancing is in fact a sport.
