Wasn't sure if I should've put this in "other sports", but it is not a team sport.... yet...

A pole dancing studio in Salt Lake City has become part of a worldwide movement to get pole dancing considered as an Olympic sport for the 2012 Games in London, KUTV reported Friday.

I read through some of the comments; this is my favourite.

Are these people friggin serious? Isn't it bad enough we have synchronized swimming (NOT a sport), that ridiculous winter sport where they use brooms and some odd looking hunker thing and sliiiiiide it across the ice - no one even knows the name of this thing - certainly NOT a sport.

All pole dancing will do is get the idiotic guys excited - as you can read from above. WHY WHY WHY do these ridiculous people come from the US and not some other country? Geez, they make us all look like idiots.

What an incredible coincidence, I want it to be an olympic sport too!

In all seriousness I saw a dancer once who I really didn't find attractive in the least bit, but she pulled out some of the most impressive and athletic pole work i've ever seen. It was like watching a gymnastics routine ... set to "living on a prayer".

Today the 2012 summer Olympics were rocked by the "lap dancing scandal" where judges votes were influenced in the Olympic VIP room . . .

On the main page it reads "Utah Studio wants pole"

I'll admit I chuckled.

If its inclusion keeps softball out, I'm in full support.
