Figure skaters are usually a shoo-in (skate-in?) when it comes to succeeding on Dancing With The Stars. But DWTS: Athletes features three figure skaters — Mirai Nagasu, Adam Rippon, and Tonya Harding — so the competition between these athletes is bound to be fierce. Nagasu and Rippon were teammates at the 2018 Winter Olympics, but they are also close friends and attended the Oscars together, so their rivalry will likely be friendly. Harding, on the other hand, is from another generation of skaters — and quite a notorious one at that. Yet, Nagasu and Rippon's comments about Tonya Harding before DWTS show that they'll be focused on their fellow figure skater's abilities more than anything else when their season starts on April 30. While Nagasu and Rippon competed for Team USA in PyeongChang, South Korea, this winter, the U.S. Figure Skating Association banned Harding from skating in 1994. As The Washington Post reported, Harding plead guilty to hindering the prosecution into who hit Nancy Kerrigan in the knee before the U.S. Figure Skating Championships and the 1994 Winter Olympics. Harding has continued to deny that she knew about or was involved in the attack on Kerrigan.

The pair had scored a 35 for their quickstep, but lost the Ballroom Battle and thus, two extra points, to Nagasu’s BFF Adam Rippon, who advanced to the final with Josh Norman and Tonya Harding. That means the figure skater won’t realize her goal of competing against Rippon for the Mirrorball trophy, but she says she’ll be at the finale “as team support.” The Olympic bronze medalist says she “loved every second” of the truncated season and is happy her longtime dream of doing the show came into fruition. “Whether it was a difficult moment and we had to fight to get past it, it wasn’t easy for me to learn the dance steps and I think that I had so much fun,” she says. “I’d been waiting for this for a long time and I really truly can’t wait to see what’s in the future for me. I hope more opportunities like this come up, because I think I’ve really grown as a person and as a performer.”
