Watch Shawn Johnson, Winner in "Dancing with the Stars" Season 8, 2009 (with Video). The season 8 finale of 'Dancing With the Stars' proved to be the biggest nailbiter ever. But in the end, all-American Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson squeaked past longtime frontrunner Gilles Marini and fan favorite Melissa Rycroft.
The youngest ever competitor on Dancing with the Stars, 17 year-old Olympian Shawn Johnson was the gold medalist in balance beam at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing where she also earned 3 silver medals in the team, floor exercise and individual all-around categories. The current two-time National Champion and high-school Junior Johnson appeared on a limited edition Cheerios box in early 2009, led the pledge of allegiance at last year's Democratic National Convention in Denver, was a headliner of last fall's Tour of Gymnastics Superstars and was named Choice Female Athlete at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards. Her debut biography Shawn Johnson: Olympic Champion: Stories Behind the Smile was released in December.
