Overview
- RTL confirmed Monday that Schweins withdrew after a previously broken rib shifted, which doctors said made continuing too risky.
- She had performed for weeks with two broken ribs, and partner Massimo Sinató said he toned down choreography to avoid movements that would trigger pain.
- Before complications escalated, the pair earned 22 points for a Tango in the most recent live show.
- Schweins posted an Instagram video saying her body made the call to stop and thanking viewers and colleagues for their support.
- RTL is bringing back influencer Bianca “Bibi” Heinicke with partner Zsolt Sándor Cseke to resume training immediately, a move that prompted fresh fan criticism over allowing performances with known injuries.
