Shawn Johnson won Dancing With the Stars last night.

The Olympic gymnast and professional dance partner Mark Ballas overcame fellow finalists Gilles Marini and Melissa Rycroft on the season eight finale.

In an interview with Us Weekly, the young athlete still can't believe her good fortune.

"I've learned I can be more than just a gymnast! I've really grown as a person. This has really changed my life. This whole thing has been the time of my life - just an amazing experience."
