Gymnasts on 'Dancing with the Stars': A Winning Tradition
Gymnasts have historically performed well on DWTS. Their background in artistic movement and dance training often translates into a natural rhythm and comfort on the dance floor. Laurie Hernandez, for example, won Season 23 and became the youngest Mirrorball Trophy champion at 16. Other gymnasts who have competed include Shawn Johnson East, Aly Raisman, and Nastia Liukin. Chiles's addition follows in the footsteps of Simone Biles, with Chiles expressing interest in the competition. A TikTok announcement even suggested she'd be paired with Mark Ballas.
