Right now, all eyes are on the Paris Olympics and the talented athletes competing for the top honors. Before long, they will return home. Many will go on to appear on talk shows and possibly other competition shows. And of course, Dancing With The Stars likely has an eye on many of the athletes.

As soon as they leave Paris, some may head straight for Los Angeles to begin rehearsals.

Many former Olympians have had incredibly successful runs on Dancing With The Stars so far. Medal-winning gymnasts Suni Lee and Simone Biles have both competed in the past.

But which athletes could appear on Season 33 this fall?

Dancing With The Stars Season 33 Could Feature Many Athletes

So far, no contestants have been confirmed for DWTS Season 33. However, many fans strongly believe Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce will compete.

But he’s not the only athlete fans have on their wish list. As the Paris Olympics continues, many viewers would love to see the brave athletes enter the ballroom too. From swimmers to volleyball and every sport in between, many would have a blast giving ballroom dance a try.
