Simone Biles more nervous on 'Dancing With The Stars' than Olympics


Simone Biles' run on 'Dancing With The Stars' came to a surprising, and disappointing, end earlier this week.

Biles, who was among the favorites to win the season and performed to that level, was surprisingly sent home this week by the public. She handled it with all the class that we've come to expect from her, but the judges couldn't believe it.

Appearing on ABC's 'Live With Kelly and Ryan' on Thursday morning, Biles talked about the shock of being sent home - "you have to vote," she said - and talked about how this experience compared to Rio.

"I was more nervous in the show than I was during the Olympics…we do still train six hours a day, I trained six or seven hours for the Olympics, so it's the same but it's a little different. I'm not barefoot and I have a partner, [Sasha Farber] is the first guy I've ever danced with."
