Kristi Yamaguchi Named Winner of 'Dancing with the Stars'!

 
"The Insider" has your "Dancing" scoop! After a thrilling sixth season, "Dancing with the Stars" crowned its new champion on Tuesday night. For the first time since season one, a woman was named queen of the dance floor -- Olympic gold medalist ice skater KRISTI YAMAGUCHI took home the mirror ball trophy! The season finale opened with thoughts from the three finalists, Kristi, CRISTIAN DE LA FUENTE and JASON TAYLOR . Cristian, who tore a muscle in his bicep a few weeks ago during a routine and has danced with only one arm since, said the show made him realize: "In life, everything is possible if you really work hard for it." Jason said bashfully, "I feel like I've kind of, found a new me a little bit," and added jokingly that he'll dance in the future "for the right price." After a performance by USHER , the contestant who had taken third place was announced, and it was Cristian. (link)
