Simone Biles is set to become the fifth U.S. Olympic gymnast -- and third member of the Final Five -- to compete on Dancing with the Stars starting March 20.

Two-time Olympic medalist Nancy Kerrigan will also compete on the 24th season of the series as the sixth figure skater in show history.

Biles follows Nastia Liukin, Shawn Johnson and Rio teammates Aly Raisman and Laurie Hernandez in competing on the series.

Johnson and Hernandez won the Mirror Ball Trophy in 2009 and 2016, respectively. Raisman and Liukin finished in fourth place in 2013 and 2015, respectively.

Biles has said she’s taking all of 2017 off from competition.

Kerrigan, 47, will look to join Kristi Yamaguchi and Meryl Davis as figure skaters to win the Mirror Ball Trophy.
