“Ugh, you’re going to make me dance, but I get embarrassed!” gymnast Aly Raisman says in a new video showcasing the dance skills of Team USA star athletes.
Despite having competed on Dancing With the Stars and doing quite well — she and partner Mark Ballas made it to the finals before coming in fourth place — Raisman seemed nervous before ultimately letting loose.
While the 22-year-old — who took home three medals at the London Games in 2012 — might have been worried, her fellow gymnast Danell Leyva was not. (Spoiler alert: The 2012 bronze medalist dances the Carlton!)
Swimmer Ryan Lochte, who has taken home 11 medals over three Olympics, had no qualms about showcasing his moves, and even recruited an unlikely partner — a mannequin — to dance with.
But perhaps no athlete let loose more than swimmer Matt Grevers. The six-time medalist will be sure to embarrass his first child — a daughter, due around Thanksgiving — with these moves one day.
“I like dancing!” he tells Us Weekly. “I just have these goofy dance moves! Because I’m so tall, people laugh. They’re like, ‘Wow, he’s kind of moving all right.’ It’s funny! That’s the extent of my dancing.”
The 6-foot-8 swimmer may get a chance to show off these moves one day.
“My wife [Annie] really wants me to try to get on Dancing With the Stars!” he says. “She’s a fan of the show and she thinks I’d be OK at it.”
