Olympic speed skating sensation, Apolo Anton Ohno, and his lovely dancing partner, Julianne Hough, have won the fourth installment of ABC’s smash hit reality series Dancing with the Stars. In a two-hour long finale, Ohno and Hough defeated runners-up Joey Fatone and Kym Johnson.
As Ohno said upon winning the coveted mirror ball trophy, “I feel amazing. You put your mind to something, you give 100 percent, sacrifice and dedication, anything is possible.”
Fatone proved gracious in defeat, congratulating the Olympian, saying that the win was “well deserved.” He also “feels like a winner,” adding that this experience was “probably one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life.”
What’s next for Ohno? Well, the competitive speed skater, who already has two gold, one silver and two bronze medals from the 2002 and 2006 Olympic Games, is training for the 2010 event in Vancouver.
