Apolo Ohno Expains Why He Decided To Dance Again On Dancing With The Stars
Apolo Ohno may be in London currently watching the 2012 Olympics, but, that didn’t stop him from answering a few questions about his new gig on Dancing With The Stars from ESPN. Apolo tells them why he decided to dance. Read more below. I love what he says. Picture above from Apolo’s twitter account.
Congratulations on returning to “Dancing with the Stars.” The competition with athletes Emmitt Smith, Shawn Johnson and Helio Castroneves back looks pretty stiff.
“When they called, I had to think whether I was willing to make a full commitment. I had to think about giving 100 percent and dedicating all that time. But when I heard the names of some of the other contestants, I realized that I was a great fan of many of them and they are my friends. How could I not? I think it’ll be the biggest show they’ve ever had. It’s a wonderful opportunity. I’m excited about being on the show.”
So you need to train, right?
“Hopefully, I don’t fall too many times. It’s going to be very competitive. At the end of the day, I think that’s what people love about it. I just need to stay away from the sequins and the rhinestones. I need to stay strong on this one.”

Hope he’ll be paired to Chels =]
Carlos I’m with you! Chelsie has never won and Apolo could WIN from who they have listed. Plus they would look soooo good together.
I want to see Apolo with Chelsie too.
In my opinion the only female pro that has what it takes to push Apolo to his limit would be Karina. She is probably one of the best choreographers on the show.
Chelsie is a cutie but I don’t think her choreography would be tough enough for Apolo. Her style is rather safe.
I bet they’ll pair him with Cheryl, to keep her happy after seeing all her other partners with other pros.
