Though Nastia Liukin has a collection of medals from the Olympics, she is hoping for that Mirrorball Trophy when she competes on ABC's Dancing With the Stars.

Liukin, who is an Olympic gymnast, is partnered with five-time Mirrorball champion Derek Hough in the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars. This time around, the usually silver trophy will be a gold one in honor of the show's 10th anniversary and 20th season.

"Being a part of Season 20 -- the 10th anniversary -- is amazing. It's going to be great," Hough said in a recently interview with ABC.

"And it's a golden mirrorball. I kind of do like gold... I mean, you have five silver ones, like, you need a gold one," Liukin added, talking to Hough.

Like her partner, Liukin will be doing double duty as she is going to school at NYU while dancing on the show. Hough is performing in the New York Spring Spectacular this spring.

"I'm really excited to get the opportunity to dance with Derek and just to have this experience also of doing the back and forth and I'm always up for a good challenge," Liukin said. "That's how my career has always been, whether it was trying to make the 2008 Olympic team or, you know, finishing my career and moving to New York and starting school at NYU or now getting this opportunity to be on 'Dancing With the Stars' that films in LA once a week and then fly back on the red-eye to go to school. I think it's going to be such an amazing opportunity."

While many contestants have done double duty on Dancing With the Stars before, it will be interesting to see if the busyness affects either of their dancing abilities.

Dancing With the Stars begins season 20 on Monday, March 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
