Los Angeles, California Sep 18, 2024 (Issuewire.com) - Ilona Maher, the American rugby player is all set to amaze all with her participation in the upcoming Dancing With the Stars season. Recently, she showcased her talent in the Paris Olympics by winning a bronze. Now she is going to portray what other things she can manage to do flawlessly. This 28-year-old athlete is ready to show the achievements a female athlete can get in their career. This news has generated a huge buzz among global audiences. People are wondering being an athlete, if is it a good choice to participate in a dance reality show or not.
In an interview, the athlete said ‘I think it'll just show what I've been trying to say, which is female athletes are so much more than their sport, so much more than the stereotypes that they're put in with the sport’. She has also added ‘It's so awesome to show what my body type can do, and how beautiful it can be in all sorts of spaces’. Along with her, Stephen Nedoroscik, another Olympian is going to participate in the 33rd season of the show.
While talking about this, she has also said ‘We didn't get to talk at all. I think we're both going into [this] open-minded. I think we're both athletes who are at the top of our game, so we know what it takes to be great and to work hard, and we'll see how it goes’. In this competition, Ilona’s dance partner is an expert dancer Alan Bersten. And he said ‘Maybe the pasadoble! We'll see. I think the greatest thing that Ilona has from rugby is that competitiveness, that drive to learn, that want to get better. And I've already seen it. We've only had two rehearsals, but they've been incredible. I legit can't stop smiling. I feel so lucky to be with Ilona. I'm just so excited for this season’.
Ilona has said that she is constantly rehearsing to improve her skills and give a better performance. She has stated ‘Getting slightly better each time and feeling more confident in it each time we do it. So it's going to take a lot of like, breaking it down into cards and putting it all together’.
