Pole dancing should be an Olympic sport...

[Saaaaaad]

Before you say anything, let me just say, I dont mean it should be done in a sexual way. After seeing the video below, I'm convinced poll dancing could be a legitimate addition to the gymnastics. Not like the contestants HAVE to be naked, they'll just wear the normal gymanstics garb.

Watch the video (there's no nudity), and see if you disagree...(this is Miss Pole Dancing Australia 2008 btw):

Well, it might, but the public would never accept it.

I'd watch Olympic stripping cometitions.


I've already got my tickets for the Olympic Beach Volleyball when it comes here to London.

Only as long as they have a male version.~

[Saaaaaad]

Oh come on, the video isn't available in my country. What the **** is up with that, youtube?!

I don't think it's a sport kinda sport, but I'm sure they can have competitions just like there are Dance competitions.

Singapore ISPs censor youtube? thats kinda sad?

Its not a 'sport kinda sport' only because its mainly done in strip clubs. What I'm saying is, it doesn't have to be that way. Hell, you stick a stripper on a balance beam, and then a normal gymnastic event can be sexual. You put a trained gymnast (or pole dancer) with a good routine on a pole, it can be a thing of beauty.

One question.

Why the Olympics?

The argument your trying to put forward is the fact that it takes skill to do and definitely isnt something anyone can just pick up and go ooo lets pole dance.

This might be the dumbest thing i hear today.

I cant say i hate pole dancing, but it being in the Olympics is pretty dumb, imo

[Avarance]

They have curling in the Olympics. Why not pole dancing?

[Saaaaaad]

My argument is it should be a gymnastic event. Gymnastic events are in the olympics. Hence all gymnastic events are also olympic events.

I think you kinda gotta look at it like, pole dancing is pole dancing.

Not gymnastics

Still dont get it.....Why the Olympics?

Like said above they are both different same type of techniques i guess but different.

[Avarance]

Pole dancing is more gymnastic that curling is a sport.

[Groteske]

Only as long as they have a male version.~

Hmm I smell a double standard where men would only approve of women being the only gender able to participate in this "Olympic Sport"...

But haha I would love to see some hot men.....swing around a pole. Oh my....

[Deimos]

no because the olympics are boring and shouldnt be allowed on tv

also its dumb that britain has to foot the crappy olympics this time round. *ssholes.

anyways, this is a dumb idea unless you are a twelve year old with raging hormones. stop trying to rationalise and make your argument seem legit.

Have you ever tried curling? It's hard as hell.

[Zymbaline]

Nah.

If that would happen, poledancing would become overrated and like.. Not so special.

I like it this way.
