CEDAR RAPIDS - Olympic Gold medalist Shawn Johnson will get her shot at a Dancing with the Stars Championship with a trip to the finals.

During the elimination show Tuesday evening, Shawn and partner Mark Ballas were the second pair to get voted into the finals.

Earlier in the evening, the duo danced the Argentine Tango to a roaring crowd that was cheering throughout the dance. It was that dance Monday that earned the pair their first perfect score of 30.

Johnson will compete against French actor Gilles Marini and reality TV star Melissa Rycroft.
