I’m not sure if the Olympics do it, but it looks like most of her moves are from Chinese Poles, which are a common gymnastics event in the circus at least.
Hence her work with Cirque Du Soleil
I just wasted an hour watching nothing but SFW pole dancing videos on Youtube…
And I have to say, I like the USA 2nd place runner up a bit more. She’s got some good stuff too, maybe even a bit more technical, but she suffers cause her set was a bit slower paced I think.

I’m not sure her drop at 3:05 was intentional, it didn’t look like it was. That might have cost her some points.
True… but that Shoulder move right around that same mark… just wow.
Eh, why do they have to go turning everything smutty and carnal into art?
Brings a whole new meaning to the expression “Fuck me sideways”.
In order to fuck her, I’d need some kind of hydraulic lift to keep up as she moved up and down the pole – maybe a cherry picker. 
It’s still plenty smutty and carnal to me, just a highly evolved formed of smut. Perhaps we caught a glimpse of porn from the 3000’s?
I must say, Felix was worth watching.
It’s not smut. This is a woman wearing a very modest bikini performing an astounding combination of dance and gymnastics. She’s an athlete.
Maybe I have a weird perspective. When I was a kid, my Dad was a representative for AGVA, the Associated Guild of Variety Artists, so a lot of family friends were performers, including strippers, fan dancers and other “exotics”. I can appreciate this type of performance for the skill and effort on display because I got some idea of how hard they worked. What’s she’s doing is amazing, and erotic, but she is not thinking about sex while doing it - she’s thinking about maintaining her grip, or hooking her ankle to be able to support the rest of her body.
Damn! How does she get gravity to ignore her like that?
And I

MY PANTS
(yes, she’s an incredible athlete, but I’m just a hetero guy, so sue me)
Sounds like a too few many of my past sexual partners…
Very impressive throughout, though the heel rotation thing certainly brought it to another level.
There were no points to be lost. That was, as the YouTube link says, an Encore performance, and was done after the competition was over.
You’re right, I guess it’s not really smutty just because that’s what I’m thinking.
Man. Those chicks got muscles on their muscles !
The Smurf is referring to the other video of the American contestant which appears to be the competition performance.
Oops. Never mind, then.
Haha, well I thought that the whole thing was rather um… technical, not much eroticism in it.
