If you watch the Olympics, you might see a few new competitions coming your way.

Poker, pole dancing, and arm wrestling may soon be Olympic sport - WSMV News 4

If they combine pole dancing with mud wrestling it might have a shot.

Poker? I thought the Olympics were meant to showcase athletes' athleticism... But then again, the Olympics have been falling apart for quite some time.

My only issue with pole dancing is that it's one of those things that depends on judges' perceptions. Kind of like gymnastics. It's not like a race, or a jump, or a team vs team game, where there is always a clear winner.

Poker is not really a sport so I have no idea why they are adding it to the Olympic Games.

I think that they should let professional rasslers compete...they already have pros in all the other sports. Lets have a separate category of wrestling....Olympic, Greco-Roman and Professional. We can finally see one competitor from each nation find out who is the best
It can be up to the Olympic Committee to rig and predetermine the matches to get the best ratings and sell the most merchandise

The requirements for a new women's Olympic sport to be added, include that it be practiced by women in 40 countries and on 3 continents. Well, every place there are bars and taverns and drunken old men to patronize them, pole-dancers are practicing their profession (and making side-deals with their customers).
