The ballroom magic is finally here as Dancing With The Stars officially kicks off for a brand new season.
This season we're watching on as actors, authors and athletes buddy up with a professional dance guru to pop, lock and drop, to the top. A jam-packed season of stars makes for an incredibly fast-paced season, sure to deliver some show-stopping choreography.
One couple we are keen to see is Sally and Mitch as the pair make up a dangerous combination of athleticism and skill, which is why we think they're one to watch.
Watch the trailer for MasterChef 2023. Story continues after post.
So in light of the new season let's get to know Sally on a deeper level.
Get to know Dancing With The Stars Sally Pearson.
You probably already know that Sally Pearson is an Olympic gold medallist and the fourth-fastest hurdler in history. In 2012, Sally became the 10th Aussie to win gold at the London Olympics and has since gone on to become somewhat of an inspiration for young athletes.
Since the Olympics, Sally has dabbled in coaching and also presents the evening sports news for 7News Gold Coast.
The track superstar has teamed up with none other than Mitch Kirkby, an athlete in his own right, Mitch says the pair are excited to push themselves to their dancing limits.
Sally says she is concerned that her sporting history may hold her back. "Staying in time while under pressure without nerves getting to me. In racing, nerves make you want to go fast which is a good thing but in dancing you have to stay in time."
