Team USA luger Chris Mazdzer says he experienced “way more butterflies” on “Dancing with the Stars” than he did at the Winter Olympics.
Soon after his medal-winning moment, Mazdzer made a move from the luge track to another competitive arena: the dance hall.
Mazdzer was cast in the 26th season of “Dancing with the Stars” in spring of 2018. While no medals were on the line, the show made Mazdzer more nervous than the Games.Part of the reason for the extra nerves was the unfamiliarity with ballroom dancing paired with the shortened time to prepare. While he had been competing in luge for decades, he only had days to master his dances with his partner, professional dancer Witney Carson.
“I was only training for a couple days before those dances, where with luge I’m like ‘I’ve been doing this for 20 years, I got it,’” Mazdzer said. “Little different mindset.”
