The contestants for the new season of Dancing With the Stars were revealed this morning on Good Morning America and we have updated this post live with all the latest information on who the contestants are, which pros are paired with who and more background information. Season 26 is an all-athletes season and, prior to today’s big reveal, several athletes were reportedly unmasked. According to USA Today, former figure skater Tonya Harding, Adam Rippon and snowboarder Jamie Anderson were already named as contestants. There were also reports that Jennie Finch was joining the show.

Season 26 of Dancing With the Stars begins on April 30, 2018, in a shortened season, with just 10 contestants. For all the latest information on the big reveal, as well as the cast members, read on below as the identities are revealed live. And, according to AOL News, the pro dancers on board are Sharna Burgess, Witney Carson, Emma Slater, Gleb Savchenko, Artem Chigvintsev, Keo Motsepe, Lindsay Arnold, Alan Bersten, Sasha Farber and Jenna Johnson.

Now let’s get into the brand new, all-athletes cast for the show. Kicking things off, some of the troupe dancers, along with the pros performed a short opening number. Then, longtime DWTS host Tom Bergeron came out on stage to help with the announcements. He also delivered some pop news for Good Morning America as a fun addition. But, let’s get into the reveal …

Kareem Abdul-Jabaar & Lindsay Arnold on “Dancing With the Stars”



Jabaar said that his father was a bit of a dancer and he hopes to make him smile up above. The massive height difference between basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabaar and mirrorball champion Lindsay Arnold may prove to be a bit of a challenge this season, but Arnold’s worked with very tall competitors in the bast … just maybe not this tall. Jabaar is 70 years old and he stands at 7′ 2″. He is a true legend in basketball, and played 20 seasons in the NBA for the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers.

Adam Rippon & Jenna Johnson on “Dancing With the Stars”



Olympian figure skater Adam Rippon and fellow contender Mirai Nagasu are actually great friends and the two were not shy about poking fun at each other on GMA. Rippon said he’s going to leave all the competition on the dance floor, while Nagasu made fun of the sweatpants he was wearing. Jenna Johnson has primarily been a troupe dancer on DWTS. She was previously promoted to a pro contender, but didn’t last long in the competition. Perhaps this could be her time to shine.

Jennie Finch & Keo Motsepe on “Dancing With the Stars”



Jennie Finch said her kids are very excited for her to be on the show this season. Finch is a softball player, who is a retired 2-time pro All-Star. She is also married to Major League Baseball pitcher Sean Casey Daigle. For the DWTS competition, Finch is paired with pro Keo Motsepe on the dance floor.

Chris Mazdzer & Witney Carson on “Dancing With the Stars”



Luger Chris Mazdzer is dancing with mirrorball champion Witney Carson this season. One of his pre-competition traditions is to jump into a freezing body of water. That may be hard to come by, competing in Los Angeles, California. This past winter, Mazdzer won a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Jamie Anderson & Artem Chigvintsev on “Dancing With the Stars”



Anderson has a competition ritual, which is hanging out in trees, but there aren’t many trees around the studio. She’ll have to improvise. Anderson, who is known as an Olympic snowboarder, is paired with Artem Chigvintsev. Anderson is actually the first female snowboarder to win more than one Olympic gold medal.

Tonya Harding & Sasha Farber on “Dancing With the Stars”



Tonya Harding joked on GMA that her figure skating talents haven’t really translated to the dance floor. She also said that pro partner Sasha Farber definitely has his hands full this season. The Inquistr previously reported that figure skater Tonya Harding was a possibility this season and now it appears to be true. With all the hype surrounding Margot Robbie’s film I, Tonya, it would definitely make sense.

Mirai Nagasu & Alan Bersten on “Dancing With the Stars”



When this past Winter Olympics were going on, figure skater Mirai Nagasu told USA Today that she would love to be on DWTS. Now it looks like her dreams have come true.

Josh Norman & Sharna Burgess on “Dancing With the Stars”



Josh Norman is paired with Sharna Burgess this season and Burgess is definitely a fan-favorite among the pros. According to AOL, the NFL player may end up raising some eyebrows this season on the show, as a source told AOL News, “Josh is a total lose cannon! No one ever knows what’s going to come out of his mouth! He’s really funny and competitive and loves the camera. If he doesn’t agree with a score the judges give him, you can definitely expect him to share a piece of his mind,” the source adds. “He’s going to be a lot of fun to watch this season.”

Johnny Damon & Emma Slater on “Dancing With the the Stars”



Johnny Damon revealed on GMA that he actually has 7 children and they are all excited for him to be a part of the cast. For those unfamiliar with Damon, he is a retired professional baseball outfielder, who played in Major League Baseball from 1995 to 2012. He is dancing with Emma Slater, who tied the knot with fellow pro dancer Sasha Farber in recent months. The newlyweds actually got married at the Houdini Estate and several of their bridal party members were DWTS pros.

Arike Ogunbowale & Gleb Savchenko on “Dancing With the Stars”



Currently, Ogunbowale is gearing up for finals in college, because she is also a student, so Savchenko may have difficulty juggling his new partner’s busy schedule. But, the two aren’t shy about announcing they are tough competitors. Ogunbowale’s involvement in the show was announced separately from the other contestants, as she and Savchenko videoed in for the live reveal.

Prior to the big reveal of the new DWTS contestants on Good Morning America, the pro dancers for this season were reported, but a couple familiar faces are missing from the line-up. The Chmerkovskiy brothers and Peta Mugatroyd are currently still on tour, but perhaps they’ll be back for season 27. Pro dancers Witney Carson and Gleb Savchenko were the first to announce their being a part of season 26 and Savchenko told ET Online his wish list for the new batch of contestants. Savchenko said that, “I would love to have as a partner someone who has done something connected to music. Probably a figure skater. Someone young, someone with energy. And just someone really who wants to win. I need a mirrorball.”

For season 26 of DWTS, there are some major changes coming up and there is even a new show runner, as reported by E! News. Andrew Llinares has taken on the show running gig and he is sure to put a few new spins on the beloved series. Upon announcing the news, Llinares said that, “Dancing With the Stars is one of the largest scale shows on television, and I love that it provides a place for me, as a producer, to have big, ambitious ideas that I can then bring to life. It can be quite the undertaking to come in to a show that has been on the air for 25 seasons, but I’m excited about taking on the challenge and finding new ways to take the show forward.”

Though there may be a new show runner, there are a ton of fan-favorite cast members coming back as well. Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews will return as hosts and Carrie Ann Inaba previously said on Live! With Kelly and Ryan that the fan-favorite judges are on board as well.
