CEDAR RAPIDS - Shawn Johnson is the new Dancing with the Stars Champion.

Dusting off a week 6 dance that earned the dancing pair their fist 10, Shawn Johnson and partner Mark Ballas Cha Cha Cha'd their way to a perfect score.

That score, combined with the judges score from Monday night, will equal half of the final score.

"I loved every second of it," said Johnson after her final performance on ABC's Dancing with the Stars.

Telling Johnson she was underestimated, the judges praised her work effort, saying she powered her way to the top.

It was the closest margin of victory of any season of the competition.
