Ryan Lochte, Laurie Hernandez join ‘Dancing with the Stars’

Gold medalists Ryan Lochte and Laurie Hernandez are the latest Olympians to take turns on “Dancing with the Stars.”

Lochte said he committed to the show before his gas-station incident at the Rio Olympics.

“The emotional part is the hardest thing,” Lochte said on “Good Morning America.” “The past two weeks have been the lowest point of my life. It’s been really hard. But the fans, my family, my friends, they’ve all been really positive, keeping me going. That’s what I want to do. And this is perfect with the show, because I want to put that behind me.
