London Summer Olympics
The 2012 Summer Olympics have started! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif
I was wondering what events inspire you, or what your favorite events are?
My favorites are: Gymnastics, Diving, Swimming, and Equestrian events.
Do you find watching such dedicated athletes encourage you to want to pole dance more? It sure motivates me! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_rambo.gif

Your favs are the same as mine Veena! The gymnasts and divers inspire me to become stronger and more graceful. I used to be a compeitive swimmer but had to stop because of health problems so watching the swimming is always a little bitter sweet. I used to dream of being an olympic swimmer.

Gymnastics! Love the balance beam in particular but all the other events too!
-
My favourite are figure skating, gymnastics, diving and synchronized swimming. I’ve always wanted to learn to do all of those, I love the grace strength flexibility accuracy and beauty of those sports.
-
Oh I forgot about Synchronized swimming!!

At the Olympics now watching the volleyball, USA won! I wanted to watch gymnastics but just being here is awesome!

Gymnastics, Swiming and field hockey. I did all of those sports when I was younger. I was a pretty fast swimmer and noticed the best weight loss doing it. I was a field hockey goalie and gymnastics came with the many years of cheerleading I did.
Promos for sporting events really move me, I swear its the editing and audio that go with it. I love hearing the stories of struggle to make it. It really made me want to be an olympic athelete or even a better pole dancer now!

Gymnastics is my absolute fave has been since I was really little. I also like to watch swimming, archery, track & field & equestrian. All the above, did for many years when I was younger & still enjoy watching.

I love so many of the sports, but I am the most excited about the gymnastics! 🙂
-
Gymnastics and track and field. Gymnastics is most similar to pole of course!
-
Gymnastics and the equestrian sports. I love watching the horses perform. The gymnastics is simelar to pole. If the pole does get into the olympics should it be a sub division of gymnastics?
-
Like everyone else, GYMNASTICS!! I’ve been inspired to work on straight legs and proper arm placement.

@Desirae, I think of figure skating as being close to poling, too. The pole spins remind me of skating spins like the back camel spin and Y-spin. The spiral sequences in figure skating look a lot like backsplits variation/stag. Now I can't wait until the Winter Olympics!! (Yep, I had to look up all the skating terms and pull up the pole dance dictionary online haha!)
