The Pole-Dancing Ax-Thrower

Yeah, that's all nice, but can she make a sammich?

Ceola McGowan, from County Sligo, saw off competitors from across the world to win the World Double Bit Axe Throwing Championships on Sunday.
She said she hoped her win would inspire more women to get involved in the sport.
The 31-year-old was introduced to axe throwing by a friend while at university.
She told BBC News NI her target had been to win the title by the age of 35.
Speaking about her first experience of the sport, she said: "I ran home and put on as much plaid [clothing] that I had and big wellies because all I knew I was heading out to this big barn in the Wicklow mountains to meet these bearded axe throwers."

Pole dancing is another sport that Ms McGowan has done for a number of years that she said has helped her in axe throwing.
"It helps me centre, it helps me work on my balance, it helps me work on my core," she explained.
"The pole-dancing community is actually very similar to the axe-throwing community where you've got that love, camaraderie and support."

I think she’s talking about the amateur pole dancing community.

They'll both be Olympic events before you know it.

[Aqua Letifer]

I actually know a few people who do both.

That does not surprise me one bit, Aqua.

The Ren Fest starts this weekend up near me. Might go on a later weekend. Love The Mud Show.
