It seems like that stripper at your favorite joint could be the next gold medalist for team USA. According to the The Associated Press 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.” I mean I seen worse sports get recognized, Tug of war was an early Olympic medal contest, and curling (think sweeping rocks on ice) is now huge at the Winter Games. I have a feeling that 5 inch heels wont be a requirement though.
