Avishag Samberg, an Olympic medalist known for her strength and determination in taekwondo, is showcasing a different, more vulnerable side on the Israeli edition of Dancing with the Stars.

In a joint interview before the live shows, they discussed the unexpected love from the audience, the pressure from judges, and their preparation for upcoming performances.
