The cast for the first all-athletes edition of "Dancing With the Stars" won't be announced until April 13, but according to one report, a current and former Olympic figure skater will be among the competitors on the show.

Two-time Olympian Tonya Harding, whose life was recently depicted in the Oscar-nominated film "I, Tonya," and Adam Rippon, who won a bronze medal for the U.S. in the figure skating team event at PyeongChang, will both battle it out on the dance floor, a source told Emily Longeretta of US Weekly. U.S. Olympic snowboarder Jamie Anderson has also reportedly joined the cast.

Harding's longtime rival, Nancy Kerrigan, competed on season 24 of the show last year, finishing sixth.
