IPC 2012 Ultimate Champion Night Out @GYMi

Watching breathtaking pole dancing performances in high definition and drinking bubbly - Not a bad way to spend a Saturday night. 

I promised you I'd visit GYMi this year, and an opportunity came up sooner than expected. This time I didn't go for a lesson, though, but instead to see all the 23 performances from International Pole Championship in Hong Kong. While we still have to wait for IPDFA to publish their videos, Oona Kivelä treated us to the videos her team had shot. It's a shame she can't publish them, and I won't pain you by describing the performances while you can't see them yet, but I will say this: The right people won.

I was surprised that Chris Measday won Ultimate Champion in Mens Division, over Wilson Alexander, but Mr. Measday simply owned the stage in his performance. Everything I said about him in my post about Mens Division still holds, but none of it mattered. Wilson Alexander had better technique and even better choreo, but you will know what I mean when you see the show Chris Measday put on. I couldn't stop laughing. If you haven't watched the sneak peaks from all performances yet, do it now.

Thank You Oona K. for inviting us over and congratulations once again!

Oona Kivelä, tankotanssin maailmanmestariksikin useassa yhteydessä tituleerattu IPC 2012 Ultimate Champion, näytti GYMillä videot kaikista 23 esityksestä, joita Hong Kongissa nähtiin.
