Closing out round one of the semi-finals are Josh Norman and Sharna Burgess, dancing a contemporary routine to “Stand By Me” by Bootstraps. Norman chose his four brothers as his MVPs.
Len Goodman praises the fluidity and lifts, while Bruno Tonioli calls it “loving and reassuring.” Carrie Ann Inaba says it was very peaceful and guest judge David Ross calls it smooth. They score a 36.

Norman is a cornerback for the Washington Redskins. According to ABC, he “became the highest-paid NFL cornerback in 2016 upon signing with the Washington Redskins after spending his previous four seasons with the Carolina Panthers. As he enters the seventh season of his NFL career, he proves to remain one of the most elite athletes at his position.”
“Dancing with the Stars: Athletes” is hosted by Tom Bergeron and sports broadcaster Erin Andrews. The judging panel is composed of ballroom experts Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli. Their scores, along with America’s votes, determine who gets to stay and who is sent home as couples vie for the coveted Mirrorball trophy during the special, four-week season.
The remaining athletes include Olympic figure skaters Adam Rippon and Mirai Nagasu, luger Chris Mazdzer, softball pitcher Jennie Finch, NFL star Josh Norman and former figure skater Tonya Harding.
The finale of this season’s all-athlete edition of “Dancing with the Stars” airs next Monday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
