Team USA rugby star Ilona Maher took the world by storm during the Paris Olympics and quickly became one of the most popular athletes on social media. As a result of her remarkable summer, she received an invitation to compete on ‘Dancing With The Stars‘ with partner Alan Bersten.
Their friendship has blossomed into something that fans adore.
However, even the best of friends have their issues with one another. Maher got to unleash all of her frustrations with Bersten while on the field at SoFi Stadium on Thursday night! They were in attendance at the Rams’ Thursday Night Football game against the Vikings, which got the Center Forward thinking about her day job. She casually walked up to the latin ballroom dance expert and laid him out.
Maher took it easy on Bersten. He was able to pop right back up and they were both ready to go if Sean McVay or Kevin O’Connell needed them to get in the game.
The 28-year-old rugby dynamo eviscerated body-shamers and ‘BMI’ over the summer. In doing so, Maher revealed that she is 5-foot-10, 200 pounds. Bersten is only six-feet tall and recently lost 20 pounds on the carnivore diet.
This is not to say that Bersten is not a strong guy. He is!
However, we saw back in July that Maher will bury anyone and everyone who crosses her path. She has one of the most vicious stiff arms in sports and frequently lays the lumber in the open field.
Ilona Maher held back on Alan Bersten with her tackle on the gridiron.
It was probably the right move, considering that she needs him to be healthy for the rest of the season. They are one of seven remaining pairs on the show and an injury would’ve been a real problem for one of the most popular duos among DTWS fans!
