Figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi has emerged the winner on Dancing With The Stars, becoming only the second woman to triumph in the contest.
"This is the icing on the cake," she told fans on the show. "I thank all the fans, and everyone who has made this a dream experience.
Kristi also paid tribute to her professional dancing partner Mark Ballas.
"I think that says a lot about Mark and his challenging choreography and the way he teaches and instructs," she told Access Hollywood. "This is like cloud nine. My head is spinning still."
The Olympic gold medal winner got a perfect score of 30 for their jive, their final dance. They beat NFL player Jason Taylor and partner Edyta Sliwinska into second place, while Chilean actor Cristian de la Fuente and partner, Cheryl Burke came third.
"Kristi is so deserving," said Jason. "She very much deserves it. I had the time of my life."
