Handicapping the athletes on Season 23 of Dancing with the Stars, whose cast was announced Tuesday. The season starts Sept. 12 (8 p.m. ET/PT).
- Ability: Laurie Hernandez, Calvin Johnson and tossup with Ryan Lochte and James Hinchcliffe.
- Interest: Ryan Lochte, Ryan Lochte, Ryan Lochte and Laurie Hernandez.
- Question: Will Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte be this season’s Lolo Jones? The potential is there for a stiff and stunningly bad debut and a one-night stand as Jones, a former Summer and Winter Olympian, did in season 19. Athletic ability does not necessarily transfer to the dance floor.
