Natalie Coughlin swims better than she dances. The Olympian, eliminated from Tuesday’s episode of Dancing with the Stars, told RadarOnline.com that a lack of love from the judges hastened her exit from the program.

Coughlin, a two-time Gold medalist for swimming, was partnered with Alec Mazo; she received 22 out of 30 possible points for her Paso Doble dance Monday.

“They gave us crappy scores, so what did they expect?” a dejected Coughlin, 27, told RadarOnline.com’s Tina Malave. “This has been my life for the past two weeks … I’m not ready to go home yet.”

Mazo was equally upset over the premature elimination, echoing identical sentiments.
