Pole Dancing as an Olympic Sport??
Don't laugh it could happen. Strip club owners The sport's organizers are working hard change the sport's image.
"We're trying to be stricter here and become respected as a sport," said
Florenza Pizanis, 43, a pole-dancing coach in Dortmund, Germany, and
head of the International Pole Sports Federation's technical committee,
which wrote the rules and applied them for the first time at the London
championships
Among the written regulations: no dancing "in an overtly erotic
manner"—banned, for example, is "gluteal dance"—and no "hats, canes and
anything that is not considered attached to the costume."
Haha, gluteal dance?? Without gluteal dancing I'm not sure how fun any of this will be as a spectator sport. Organizers have also written a rule book that gives code names to compulsory
moves, specifies scoring methodology and bans pole-dancing staples such
as removable articles of clothing. And they'd like people to call their
event "pole sports" now.
Just a suggestion, they may want to ban names like Candi, Cinnamon, and Misty as well.

16 year old Chinese Swimmer's test come back clean.
It was her final 100m of freestyle, in which she recorded a split time of 58.68sec, that aroused Leonard’s suspicion. Over the last 50m she was quicker than the American Ryan Lochte, who won the men’s 400m individual medley in the second-fastest time in history.
John Leonard, executive director of the World Swimming Coaches Association, has been the most vocal about Shiwen’s shady performance.
“Any time someone has looked like superwoman in the history of our sport they have later been found guilty of doping.”
In respons to the speculation it appears a rush was put on Ye Shiwen's test to end the controversy.
British Olympic Association chairman Lord Moynihan said: "We know how on top of the game Wada (World Anti-Doping Agency) are and Wada have passed her as clean. That's the end of the story.
What do you think? Is she juicing?
