    Emmys: Olympians Ilona Maher and Stephen Nedoroscik Talk ‘DWTS’ and More

    U.S. Olympians Ilona Maher and Stephen Nedoroscik talk to USA TODAY’s Ralphie Aversa about life after the Paris Games at the Emmys.

    Ilona Maher showed off her energy in the ballroom last night at the premiere of “Dancing with the Stars.”

    The Olympic rugby star from Burlington is joining the reality show this season, alongside his professional partner Alan Bersten.

    In the premiere episode, Maher said that her appearance on the show aims to emphasize the importance of body confidence.

    “I’m a really big, muscular woman, but I also feel so beautiful and feminine,” Maher said. “I mean, you know, I grew up not feeling so comfortable, so I want to make it easier for young girls to love their bodies.”

    “I approach the game like an animal, but in the ballroom I show my beauty,” she added.

    This is how she did it.

    What song did Ilona Maher dance to on ‘DWTS’?

    For the premiere of “Dancing with the Stars,” the stars danced to a song of their choice that represented their personal anthem.

    Maher danced a cha-cha to Shania Twain’s “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!”

    How did Ilona Maher score in ‘DWTS’?

    For her cha-cha, the “Dancing with the Stars” judges gave Ilona Maher a score of 18/30. Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli all gave Maher a 6/10.

    The bronze medalist was thrilled with the score and cheered, shaking hands with her partner Alan Bersten.

    “Honestly, I didn’t expect that,” Maher said. “I think you guys are being a little too nice, but I appreciate you all, thank you.”

    Who was eliminated from ‘DWTS’?

    There was no elimination on last night’s episode of “Dancing with the Stars.” The first elimination is next week, on September 24, and will be based on a combination of the judges’ scores and viewer votes from the first two weeks.

    “Dancing with the Stars” airs live Tuesday nights on ABC and Disney+. It is also available to stream the following day on Hulu.
