Likely You’re Mispronouncing Olympic Athlete Ilona Maher’s Name
During the DWTS premiere night, Ilona made a name for herself as she and Alan performed their first dance in pursuit of the iconic Mirror Ball trophy.
Ilona dazzled in a pink fringe bodysuit as she took to the dance floor with Alan, dancing to the rhythm of Shania Twain‘s “I Feel Like a Woman.” Their performance earned them a score of 18 from the judges, securing their spot in the competition for another week.
Reflecting on their performance, Ilona shared with E! News that while the competition is exciting, she anticipates facing some challenges.
“I believe it went well,” she said. “I feel like I’m getting a better understanding of the competition, and I am confident that I will continue to improve.”
