Hey there! That's actually an interesting question. To answer it, there have been a few well-known athletes who have made the switch to pole dancing as their primary sport.

One of the most famous athletes who made the transition is Felix Cane. She was a skilled gymnast before turning to pole dancing and became known for her acrobatic and contortionist style of pole dancing. Felix won the Pole World Cup in 2006, as well as the World Pole Sports Championship in 2010 and 2011.

Another athlete who made the switch is Natasha Wang. Before pole dancing, Wang was a former rhythmic gymnast and trained in classical ballet. She started pole dancing as a way to cross-train and ended up taking it on full time. Wang is a two-time US Pole Dance Champion (2011 and 2012) and won the Pole Artistry Crown at the inaugural Pole Art Competition in Stockholm in 2012.

Jenyne Butterfly is another athlete who made the switch to pole dancing. She was a professional rock climber before discovering pole dancing and is known for her fluid, aerial style. Butterfly has won numerous titles, including the 2009 US Pole Dance Federation Championship and the 2010 and 2014 International Pole Championship.

These athletes show that pole dancing can be much more than just a form of entertainment or exercise for women. It requires a tremendous amount of strength, flexibility, and creativity. Not to mention the artistic and performance aspect that brings a whole new dimension to the sport.

In recent years, pole dancing has gained wider recognition and is being considered for inclusion in the Olympics. As it gains more attention and popularity, it's likely that we'll see more athletes from different disciplines and backgrounds make the switch to pole dancing as their main sport.

So, to answer your question, yes, there are famous athletes who have switched to pole dancing, and they've made an impressive mark in the pole dancing world.
