Ania Przeplasko, the founder of the International Pole Dancing Fitness Association
This can't be real.
Google seems to indicate otherwise, but is there a Polish-language joke that I'm missing?
A Polish woman with the last name 'too flat' as head of the fucking 'Pole Dancing Fitness Association'?
Hmm, not a single google hit for Kancholympics.
Until now.
Pole dancing would certainly help with the TV ratings.
But is it a summer or winter sport?
Is there men's Pole Dancing?
The winner was very impressive.
So, what's the difference between that style/level of pole dancing and what they do at Cirque du Soleil? Height, skill, variety?
I think ice stripping has a better chance of getting in.
Is there men's Pole Dancing?
Yes.
That should be "Crystal Light sponsored."
This is like the opening chapter to Cirque du Soleil fan fiction.
Maybe this will work as a link.
15 is great. I'm not sure why it reminds me of Angle Dance, but it does.
I was told there'd be no Evanescence.
Sad. Very sad. Extremely sad.
Lawn-mowing next?
I feel compelled to note that, according to her Facebook page, Ania Przeplasko is married to Prabhu Chandramohan.
Also, that I'm Btock-style and getting Btockier. WOOO!
22: fuck yes. Olympic Btock Trials!
Okay, so what happens to competitive pole dancing once 12 year-old Romanian girls enter the sport? I don't think that the Olympics can exactly quantify sexiness for a judging category.
Btock Cross!
Or, in 27, Btock Cross Buns.

I don't know what it is about writing a personal statement that's making stupid two-word phrases get stuck in my head, but if the admissions committee ends up reading about my squamous visage or kancho poncho, unfogged will know why.

wine, good; cheap more than drinkable wine, priceless$10.99. Rosso di Piceno Fattoria Laila, recommended. Dziekuje Apo for convincing me to open up a bottle on a Tuesday night.
30: There's a Pole dancer joke here I'm unable to muster. Help?
On a clover, if alive, erupts a vast, pure evil: a fire volcano
If you can find this, drink it. A $5 bottle that tastes like $10. Look for the big cartoon nona on the label.
Lose the heels, replace the lingerie, and put hair in a pony-tail and it looks just like gymnastics.
I was with you through put hair in a pony-tail at which point EMBARRASSING REALIZATION that you weren't talking to me.
Now we know Standpipe's hair is already in a ponytail.
Why did my name disappear when I mistakenly checked and unchecked "Remember personal info?"?
41: Because your name is cryptic.
41: Because since this is the X-Games thread Unfogged is configured to not accept your slave name.
It's weird that the recent extrication of pole dancing from its strip club context seems like a "selling out" of the art to me.
Sorry Walt, I never realized "Someguy" was your equivalent of "X". It does feel good to take ownership of my identity, even just by eliminating the identity I did not choose.
the last name 'too flat'
Is that like "Johnny Too Bad"?
Also, I note previous discussion of this topic.
Lose the heels, replace the lingerie, and put hair in a pony-tail and it looks just like gymnastics.
Good point. There's no reason why a woman swinging around on a couple of horizontal poles should be obviously an Olympic sport while a woman swinging around on a vertical pole shouldn't.
38: Because I do not patronize exotic dance clubs (because I am a feminist [laydeez]), I had not realized, until watching the linked video, that there was so much upper-body strength required for this endeavor. I'd say on that basis alone, pole dancing is easily athletically equal, if not superior, to the women's gymnastics floor routines and synchronized swimming.
I haven't followed any of the links in the OP, but this did get me to finally watch the video in the post linked in 47 and, wow, is that impressive. It's really hard to do gymnastic moves slowly.
Does Ms. Tooflatowicz have videos of herself performing in non-erotic costumes?
Which suggests a fascinating new direction for X-treme strip clubs.

I don't think you would have necessarily discovered this at exotic dance clubs.
That maneuver that looks like you're spiraling up the pole upside-down because everything went all inverty? Awesome.
52: absolutely, yes. Bring on the pommel horse! The balance beam! The springboard!
(takes cold shower)
I just stand on my head at strip clubs to make the regular gals seem more impressive.
In fact, we put our TV upside-down to make all our shows more impressive.
Doesn't that kind of ruin Upside-Down Survivor?
It's true, we find that show most lame.
Except for the hairstyles, which still look pretty cool when the TV's inverted. And the exciting hijinks when they try to fill their water bottles.
