Charlie White and Meryl Davis are heading to Dancing With the Stars. Will these Olympians strike gold on the dance floor?

The Olympic gold medalists will be competing against one another this time around. White is paired with Sharna Burgess and Davis will dance with returning pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Davis, 27, and White, 26, took home the gold medal at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics for ice dancing and the bronze for the figure skating team event. The two previously won silver at the 2010 Vancouver games.

Derek Hough, who is returning to Dancing With the Stars and is partnered with Amy Purdy, was one of White and Davis' choreographers. We'll see if the duo picked up a few of his signature dance moves when it comes time to hit the DWTS floor.

Other season 18 competitors include: Billy Dee Williams, Candace Cameron Bure, Cody Simpson, Danica McKellar, Diana Nyad, Drew Carey, James Maslow, NeNe Leakes and Sean Avery.

Dancing With the Stars premieres Monday, March 17 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
