Olympic medalist Ilona Maher has left no stone unturned to impress the audience with her performances at the 33rd season of 'Dancing with the Stars'. After five weeks of intense competition, Maher and Alan Bersten are one of the seven duos remaining in the competition.

The previous week, Maher performed on the song 'Surface Pressure' from the Disney movie Encanto. She talked about how she related to the character she portrayed in the performance.

"I really resonate with Luisa. I too grew up as a bigger female. She is big and broad but she is so beautiful. She doesn’t ever try to shrink herself for the world. I'm so happy I’m sharing that with people now. Just like Luisa, I might bend, but I’ll never break," said the 28-year-old rugby player. (via Entertainment Weekly)

Maher's performance on the Hair Metal-themed night wasn't impressive, and the duo barely managed to avoid elimination. The Olympian was brought to tears after the performance and even apologized to Bersten..

"I felt like, I guess, a failure in a way for disappointing you," she told Alan.

Ilona Maher later performed a brilliant Rumba on the song 'My Way'. The performance earned the duo an impressive 32 out of 40. Maher's performance at the Disney-themed night was also extremely brilliant, earning the duo a surprise 25 out of 30 and helping them proceed to the next round with ease.
