Gymnast Shawn Johnson, who brought home gold and silver from the 2008 Summer Olympics, now has another gleaming prize to place beside her medals: the mirrored disco-ball trophy from Dancing With the Stars.
She and pro partner Mark Ballas defeated celebrity second-placer Gilles Marini (with partner Cheryl Burke) and third-place Melissa Rycroft (with Tony Dovolani) in the Season 8 finale Tuesday. Johnson is the third Olympian, after skaters Kristi Yamaguchi and Apolo Anton Ohno, to win, USA Today reports.
