And here come the Olympic cheerleaders

We told you about the possibility, but now it is OFFICIAL. China does want to be the next world power in cheerleading. We hear that a series of competitions are being held across schools and tertiary institutions, fitness centres and community clubs across China to select 200 cheerleaders for the Olympic Games. Before you know it, some of them will be mixing acrobatics into their cheerleading routine.

This is the saddest excuse for cheerleading I have ever seen. If you want to see REAL cheerleading go to youtube and type in "Top Gun Allstars". THAT is what Olympic cheerleading is going to be like. China needs to bone up on their cheerleading knowledge if they don't want to be killed. Seriously. No wonder people don't think cheerleading is a sport.
