Pole Dancing Aims for London Olympics Recognition
POLE-DANCERS hope to get their event recognised as a sport in time to appear at the 2012 London Olympics.

Sorry… I had to laugh. And I hate to rain on the pole dancers’ parade but there is no way it will get into the Olympics by 2012. I won’t deny the athleticism required for this, but it takes a long time for sports to be accepted and put into the olympics. There is a big long list of sports that want to be olympic sports. Apparently Sport Climbing was accepted as a sport in 2007, but I don’t think it has even been a demonstration sport yet. It can take years before sports go through the whole process.
I’m excited that Rugby will finally be included in the 2016 olympics although I think would have been pretty fitting if the first time would have been in London.
haha, I know, the chances are slim for London 2012 but kudos for trying, I can see it being possible to compete in and maybe in 20 years time who knows but for London no way…
