NEW YORK, - The returning champion of the U.S. Pole Dance Federation competition says she is ready to repeat her feat in New York.

Sarah Cretul, 22, a Brighton Beach, Fla., native who recently relocated to Redlands, Calif., crowned Miss Trixter at last year's event, said she has been preparing for the second annual contest Friday at the Symphony Space Theater for months, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Friday.

"I've been working on my routine all year," said Cretul, who dances at the Hustler club in Redlands. "I think I'm ready."

The winner of the national competition in New York will receive $5,000 and a trip to Australia to participate in October's Miss Pole Dance Australia event in Sydney. Organizers said a tape of the winner's performance will also be sent to the producers of "America's Got Talent" for consideration.

Sarah Cretul, 22, won the title of Miss Trixter last year. The second annual competition starts Friday at the Symphony Space Theater in New York City.

"I've been working on my routine all year," said Cretul, whose moves include a "twisted handspring." "I think I'm ready."

Last year, she won Miss Trixter after she vaulted herself into a "Superman" position, parallel to the floor. She then wrapped her legs around the pole and suspended herself more than 6 feet from the ground upside down, holding on with just her legs.

Paraphrasing: "Guys like girls with skills."

They’re trying to get this as an Olympic sport. Honestly, since it ‘s just another piece of apparatus, except this one’s vertical while the others are horizontal, I don’t see why it shouldn’t be.

OK, granted she is an acrobat, but, she doesn’t look like she came from Poland:>.

Squantos ol’ buddy, if you're not sponsoring this I'm mighty disappointed.
