  • Shiri Maimon aims for second place in "Dancing with the Stars" finale.
  • She humorously plans to "steal attention" with a speech if she doesn't win.

Singer Shiri Maimon is heading into the "Dancing with the Stars" finale, over two decades after her memorable second-place finish in the "Kohav Nolad" singing competition. Maimon, who is competing with professional dancer Rafael Fleishman, expressed a humorous desire to finish second again, stating she would "steal all the attention" from the winner with her speech. She acknowledged that her competitors are significantly younger, making her presence in the final alongside three other pairs a source of pride.

Maimon emphasized that she doesn't feel the need to prove anything and would accept any placement, including second, third, or fourth, with pride. She admitted that unlike her younger self, who was driven to win "Kohav Nolad," she would be shocked if she actually won this competition.

The article also highlights the dedication of other finalists. Actor Bar Brimer, partnered with Sana Sokol, showed his commitment through intense rehearsals, with Sokol joking about his "intimate relationship with the floor." Brimer, despite Sokol's reputation as a strong dancer, stated he is not intimidated by her.

Actress Noa Cohen, paired with Eitan Krips, reflected on their journey, noting they weren't early favorites and had to climb from a low score. Actor Amir Banai, dancing with Romy Nof, has also gained significant attention and shared that he receives amulets for good luck.
