New Olympic Sports? |
Juan Antonio Samaranch, president of the IOC, commented "Since January 1st 1997, the UK have had laws in place banning firearms [with the exception of military and uniformed services] completely from the country, making a number of existing Olympic sports uncontestable, so we needed replacement events - something more refined, to reflect the nature of the British population."
He continued, "As for the pole dancing, we just wanted to see some ladies shake their stuff for medals. We are also going to make age testing mandatory to prevent underage Chinese girls competing like they did last time in the gymnastics."
