All eyes are currently on one particular former blonde athlete. Former Olympic athlete Tonya Harding is teamed up with pro dancer Sasha Farber on the dance floor. And so far, she’s managed to prove that she has what it takes to win the season. Of course, Tonya’s not the first ice skating champ to show off her skills on the dance floor. Nancy Kerrigan competed in Season 24 of Dancing With The Stars but was the sixth contestant to be eliminated that year.
Also, Tonya is well aware of the “bad girl” reputation she’s had in the media. She told ABC News in an interview back in December, “Is it a challenge from the Lord to see how far I can be pushed until I break and become nothing? You can’t push me that far anymore, because I’ve been nothing and I’ve been nothing several times … But it’s my faith in myself and in my father that comes back to me and makes me get back up off my butt and be something worth being proud of. I always wanted my daddy to be proud. And now, I want my son to be proud.”
Meanwhile, Tonya’s competition is pretty fierce. Fellow skater Adam Rippon is teamed up with Jenna Johnson, Chris Mazder is with Witney Carson, Jennie Finch Daigle is with Keo Motsepe and Josh Norman will be with Sharna Burgess. Also, Mirai Nagasu will be with Alan Bersten.
It’s gearing up to be a very exciting season! Dancing With the Stars: Athletes will air Mondays on the ABC network at 8 pm. Who do you think is going to win this season? Let us know in our comments section. Check back with Soap Opera Spy for all the latest news, updates and spoilers right here!
