See Who Will Compete On 'Dancing With The Stars: Athletes'

The fight for the mirror ball trophy is ON!

We've all been anticipating a new season of Dancing With The Stars, and this year they're going to be switching things up a little in the ballroom - it's not just any old stars who will be competing for the top spot... but it's ALL athletes!

And I totally get why, I mean, we all watched the Olympics and fell in love with athletes like Adam Rippon and Mirai Nagasu. So why not bring all of our favorites from the years to compete in a dance competition, right?

Don't you think the skaters totally have a leg up on people like the softball players and the football players? Unfair advantage!

But here is the full cast who will be competing:

Adam Rippon (Olympic figure skater) with partner Jenna Johnson

Arike Ogunbowale (basketball player) with partner Gleb Savchenko

Chris Mazder (Olympic luger) with partner Witney Carson

Jamie Anderson (professional snowboarder) with partner Artem Chigvintsev

Jennie Finch Daigle (Olympic softball pitcher) with partner Keo Motsepe

Johnny Damon (former MLB superstar) with partner Emma Slater

Josh Norman (NFL player for the Washington Redskins) with partner Sharna Burgess

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with partner Lindsay Arnold

Mirai Nagasu (Olympic figure skater) with partner Alan Bersten

Tonya Harding with partner Sasha Farber 

This go-around of the dancing competition will be slightly different from your usual season, with the length of the show being shortened to a four-week cycle.

I can imagine this was done so they could get all of the working athletes back to their regularly scheduled practices, games and competitions.

But the same regulars will be there! Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli will be the judges, and Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews will host!

I really do think Adam Rippon is going to SHINE in the competition, I mean, I'm biased because I love him so much from his time on the Olympics, but... I also think he's going to be an amazing dancer!

Don't let me down, Adam!
