So the country's national squad - featuring three women and one man - are trying to show that their exhibitions are every bit as athletic as gymnastics.

To welcome the 2013 third Pole Dancing Championship, Yi Fan, leader of China's national pole dancing team, and her team mates Cao Nuo and Song Yao take part in a photoshoot set in the cold of mid-winter on Jan. 28, 2013.

They hope the heyday of pole dancing will arrive sooner rather than later and its competition will witness more outstanding dancers.
