It's only a small taste of the usual competition, but after a five-month wait, fans of "Dancing With the Stars" are finally going to see some celebrities—in this case, all athletes—take to the dance floor once again in the pursuit of a glittering Mirrorball trophy.

"Dancing With the Stars: Athletes" will feature 10 teams of athletes from a variety of sports, but instead of having between 10-12 weeks to compete, they will have to impress the judges and viewers quickly, as they only have four weeks of competition total. This creates a necessity for double eliminations during each week and will undoubtedly ramp up the overall competitive spirit as well.

So who are the 10 teams who have signed on for this shortened competition? Here's everything you need to know about the teams making up the cast of "Dancing With the Stars: Athletes."

1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar And Lindsay Arnold, #TeamTallAndSmall: Abdul-Jabbar, 71, is the NBA's all-time leading scorer, a six-time champ, and a six-time MVP—who happens to be 7'2". Arnold, 24, is a six-time competitor and the reigning champion, after winning Season 25 with Jordan Fisher.

2. Jamie Anderson And Artem Chigvintsev: Anderson, 27, is a two-time gold medalist for Slopestyle Snowboarding at the Olympics, winning the event in both the Sochi and PyeongChang games. Chigvintsev, 35, is returning for his seventh season as a pro.

3. Johnny Damon And Emma Slater, #TeamHomeRun: Damon, 44, is the only former MLB player in history besides Babe Ruth to earn World Series rings with both the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees.

6. Chris Mazdzer And Witney Carson, #TeamMoveItorLugeIt: Mazdzer, 29, became the first-ever American athlete to win a medal in the Men's Single Luge event in PyeongChang.
