Pole dancing could be recognized as a sport and headed to the Olympics

The strip club mainstay pole dancing - known as much for its sensual moves as its right may be headed for the Olympics.

I was listening to the radio today & heard Michael Baisden talk about this subject. Just image tuning into NBC & actually seeing "Pole Dancing" as an olympic sport. Or image taking your sister, cousin, or shit even your friend to Pole Dancing practice getting ready for World Wide Competition, crazy.....I say leave it to the exotic dancers & private pole dance course for "in-home" purpose. Crazy, what do you think?

The strip club mainstay pole dancing - known as much for its sensual moves as its rigorous athletic side - may be headed for the Olympics.

A group of pole-dance advocates is hoping for a "test" event in 2012 and a more formal pitch four years after that, in Rio de Janeiro, according to The Associated Press.

KT Coates, a prominent pole dancer in England and director of Vertical Dance, is leading the Olympic push.

"After a great deal of feedback from the pole-dance community, many of us have decided that it’s about time pole fitness is recognized as a competitive sport, and what better way for recognition than to be part of the 2012 Olympics held in London," she said in a petition she’s preparing for organizers of the London Olympics.

Coates added that the prospective sport "has the wow factor."

While her petition now has about 4,000 signatures, she is hoping to add 1,000 more.

Advocates of pole dancing say other even more unlikely sports have gotten the approval of the International Olympic Committee. Tug of war was an early Olympic medal contest, and curling is now huge at the Winter Games.

Yet, well-established sports like cricket and squash haven’t managed to get a spot for themselves at the Olympics, and baseball and softball recently got the ax. The International Olympic Community would need to recognize pole dancing as a sport, which could prove to be an uphill battle.

But pole-dance enthusiasts are hopeful about their chances to go for the gold.

"It’s just a matter of time before pole dancing gets Olympic recognition," says Ania Przeplasko of Hong Kong, founder of the International Pole Dancing Fitness Association.

"There will be a day when the Olympics see pole dancing as a sport," she told The Associated Press. "The Olympic community needs to acknowledge the number of people doing pole fitness now. We’re shooting for 2012."

Some dancers aren’t so sure about pole dancing at the Olympics because they worry that the sensual aspect of the discipline would be destroyed, and that old-school pole dancers might be pushed aside by gymnasts, circus performers and Chinese acrobats who could easily pick up the moves.

"I don’t need to see pole dancing in the Olympics," U.S. Pole Dance Federation co-founder Wendy Traskos said. "I don’t think this is necessarily the path that we need to take, as a sport."

But Traskos notes that the notion of pole dancers competing for Olympic medals isn’t as farfetched as it was five years ago.

"Now, when you talk about it you don’t hear 'like a stripper' anymore," Traskos said. "You hear things like, 'Oh, my friend takes classes for fitnees' or 'Yes, I've seen it on 'Oprah.' "

Lil Wayne Sentencing Postponed

It looks like Lil Wayne will have some more time to spend with the free world as his sentence has been postponed until March 2.

With the news being announced first from Twitter, reports are stating that the reasoning behind the pushback came as a result of dental surgery that Lil Wayne will have done.

Reports say the rapper has a cracked tooth that needs to be repaired before doing his bid.

Mack Maine made it official when he posted the news over his own Twitter.

“Extension till march 2nd!!!!!” Maine wrote on the social networking site. “Thanx for da prayers LOVE y'all…and Wayne said thanx for da prayers too..ym!!!”

Already trying to leave music while he's away, the rapper will have more time to play and continue to wrap up projects such as The Carter IV and make sure that the machine behind Young Money keeps rolling forward.

Now, we already knew that he wasn't about to go in there yet anyway.
