Showing Original Post only (View all)More proof The Patriarchy has full control of the Olympics [View all]
http://olympics.yardbarker.com/blog/olympics/article/stephanie_rice_used_a_stripper_pole_in_her_home_to_train/11394808Australian swimmer Stephanie Rice sparked some pre-Olympics buzz by tweeting the picture seen above of her modeling a bikini designed by a friend. Now we're learning what training methods -- aside from swimming -- Rice utilized to keep her figure fit.
During a radio interview with "The Hot Breakfast" on Triple M radio in Melbourne, Rice confirmed a rumor that she had a stripper pole in her apartment.
"I did do some classes and I made one of my family members buy me the pole because I was, like, well this can be cross-training exercise," Rice told the radio station.
"But I don't have it any more," she clarified.
Oh noes.....boycott, and re-educate! Clearly this young woman needs help!
