What hope for Orienteering at the Olympics with competition like this

I bet there are more people pole dancing regularly than are orienteeering regularly.

Probably more spectator friendly as well.

Probably?

IMHO pole dancing is not that gps tracking friendly sport.

Yeah, I don't want anybody tracking my location with GPS when I go to watch pole dancing.

So this means pole dancing will now have the same Olympic status (class C) as orienteering?

I think we should align our Orienteering Olympic hopes with Haiti's bid to host the Olympics

What is this fascination with Pole dancing?
Besides the polka what do they do?

Spelling, Gord. Poleka.

On reflection, I kinda like Gord's original spelling, Pollka. Has become quite a spectator sport.

I like how one guy in the comments section of that article (yes I made the mistake of reading them) will no longer watch the Olympics because the words 'pole dancing' and 'Olympics' appeared in the same article so the Olympics has officially gone down the toilet. Mate, the sport will probably never feature as an event, at least not in the next two decades (after which time he will be dead).

Antipodean understatement Cristina.

A true Olympic sport
