America’s Beloved Winter Olympians Being Eyed as Potential ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Contestants

America’s Winter Olympians may soon be proving their mettle in the ballroom of Dancing With the Stars — and waltzing away with hefty paychecks, sources spill to Straight Shuter.

According to insiders, some of the names on producers’ lips are snowboard superstar Chloe Kim, alpine ski legend Mikaela Shiffrin, hockey standout Jack Hughes and figure-skating sensations Ilia Malinin and Alysa Liu.

Industry sources dish contestants receive about $125,000 just for signing on, covering weeks of grueling rehearsals and the early rounds of the competition. From there, bonuses climb every week a celebrity survives elimination — with finalists potentially earning between $295,000 and $400,000 for the season.

“It starts with a guaranteed check just to show up and train,” one TV insider tells Straight Shuter. “But the real money comes if you last. Every week you survive, the pay bumps up.”

Another source explains, “Olympians are competitive by nature — and they treat rehearsals like training camp. They don’t quit, they push harder, and that’s great television.”

For the athletes themselves, the ballroom offers something almost as valuable as a medal, tipsters say.

“It’s exposure, brand-building — and yes, a very nice paycheck,” a production insider adds.
