We rip on Bode Miller a lot here, but in reality he's a pretty successful skier, if not the most (potentially) in US history.  Just because he's somewhat of a mouth breather shouldn't negate the fact that he's rather swift on the sticks.  So here's a sport that Bode is definitely a big fan of:  pole dancing.  Apparently pole dancing has over 150k signatures on a petition to be included in the Olympics, don't know if Winter or Summer, Winter could be problematic.  Read more here, mildly NSFW.

The strip club mainstay pole dancing - known as much for its sensual moves as its rigorous athletic side - may be headed for the Olympics.

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.
