Pole dancing should be an olympic sport

Nope, it's a practice rooted in sexism (whether it's the woman's choice to partake or not).
It was designed for creepy men like the one above to leer at, and absolutely objectifies the woman.
I'm not a feminist, this is just common sense.

for a few years now I have been thinking that Pole dancing should be put into the Olimpic games as an event.

(watch the video before you reply.)

do you agree?

No.
I think that there are sports that deserve to be in the olympics more than pole dancing (for example cheerleading)
And i dont think pole dancing fits the ethos for the olympics as it is deemed inappropriate by a lot of people and isn't universal

Cheerleading? It's not even the main event whenever you see it!

There's diffferent forms of cheerleading. There's cheerleading to support teams and things but competitive cheerleading exists on its own and it quite big. Like they have the ICU (international cheer union) World Championships every year and its heavily attended

But what are they cheering?

Nothing. They compete in it just as they would a gymnastics competition. I dont know too much about it but here's a link to a video. It's quite exciting to watch

Lapp dancing should also be given a trial at the next Olympics.

That's team gymnastics with less skill but more choreography because of the hordes of people involved. Probably not a great addition because of that. Also, it's yet another arbitrarily judged event which is just annoying. I want to see who wins the race or whatever, not see who some judges liked the most, I can watch that on X Factor and BGT.

Don't fortget strip-teasing!

It's glorified slutty dancing for men to **** over their TV at

I get what you mean. Sometimes i feel it's unfair to judge events like this because its up to intepretation, seeing a clear winner is sometimes nicer to see! Although its good to have the arbitrarily judged events because they showcase more creativity thna just sprinting or cycling

I don't know how exactly they could do it, but technology is getting better so we could score people real time sometime soon. I remember playing Tony Hawk and SSX Tricky where the tricks would get you set points etc so that would be cool to see racking up during a routine. It just really annoys me when one judge is giving 9.5/10 and another judge is giving 7/10 (which in percentage terms is massive) - how can they differ that much but be taken seriously? Then the podium positions are separated by less of a margin than the judging differences, too much depends on the judges than the athletes themselves. The athletes are doing great and I appreciate the skill and commitment they've put into it, but they're not being properly judged so until they can be, I don't like them being at the Olympics.
