Eden Golan Injured in Rehearsal, Casting Doubt on Her 'Dancing with the Stars' Future

Eden Golan, the Israeli singer who represented Israel in Eurovision, suffered an injury during rehearsals for the upcoming live show of 'Dancing with the Stars,' putting her continuation in the competition at risk. Golan had been considered a strong contender to win the season, impressing judges and audiences alike with her performances alongside dancer Artyom Liaskovski. Her injury comes shortly after contestant Shahar Hayun withdrew due to injury and before the fate of Australian actor Nate Bozulich, who is also injured, is decided.

Since her participation was announced, Golan was seen as a frontrunner, with some competitors expressing concern over her extensive stage experience, despite her lack of ballroom dancing background. The injury occurred just before the live broadcast phase, raising uncertainty about whether she will be able to continue. Previously, Golan shared personal stories on the show, including experiences of antisemitism in Russia during her childhood, with her parents supporting her from the audience.

This season has seen multiple injuries affecting contestants’ ability to compete, highlighting the physical demands of the show. The production and fans await updates on Golan’s condition and whether she can return to the dance floor in the coming episodes.
