Shawn Johnson wins Dancing with the Stars


Congratulations goes out to 17-year-old gymnast Shawn Johnson on winning the mirrorball trophy for Season 8 of Dancing with the Stars. The finale aired last night and started off being down to her, Gilles Marini, and Melissa Rycroft. Mid-way through the night, Melissa was sent home, and the finals came down to Shawn and Gilles, who performed one last dance each and both nailed a perfect scored of 30. Then host Tom Bergeron made the announcement, and said that with just 1% of the vote separating the two, Shawn was the DWTS winner.

Congrats again to Shawn and her dance partner Mark Ballas, who won for the second time in 3 seasons (he won Season 6 with Kristi Yamaguchi). Watch for Shawn, Gilles, and Melissa all on Good Morning America coming up shortly!!
