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

After an eleven week competition, Johnson and partner Mark Ballas narrowly won the mirror ball trophy. The difference between 1st and 2nd place was less than one percent, the closest in the eight seasons of the show.

Shawn entered the competition as the youngest celebrity, and became the second olympian to win. Figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi won it all in season 6.

As for what's next with the talented West Des Moines native, Johnson says she'll need to decide on the olympics. Now she will just enjoy her latest victory.
