Pole dance federation aims for it to become an Olympic sport
The International Pole Sports Federation (IPSF) is aiming to get the sport recognized by the International Olympic Committee. The IPSF's Olympic Sub-Committee had earlier been officially confirmed as a signatory of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Code. The federation had established the World Pole Sports Championships in 2012 in order to increase the sport's awareness across the globe.
