Yesterday in the Boston Globe's sport section there was an article regarding the progress cheerleading is making on becoming an Olympic sport. Check it out here.
The Globe makes a great point that all female athletes would benefit from an increase in participation at the Olympics. Many sports do not offer the same distances or intensity as their male counterparts. If cheerleading does become an Olympic sport it will not only increase awareness of what we actually do on the competition mat, but increase the number of female participants...although, I might argue that cheerleading is not just a female sport...but that's a topic for another day.
Let's Go Cheer!
