Laurie Hernandez Claims DWTS Gold! Olympic Gymnast Vaults to Victory in Season 23.
Dancing with the Stars has a new champion to add to its list of winners!
On Tuesday evening, audiences watched Laurie Hernandez and Val Chmerkovskiy, Calvin Johnson and Lindsay Arnold, and James Hinchcliffe and Sharna Burgess compete for the last time on the ballroom dance floor on the season 23 finale of the reality dancing competition series.
But after the trio of dancing duos — the first time in history that all three finalists were professional athletes — gave their final performances in front of judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, Julianne Hough and Bruno Tonioli, it was Hernandez that took home the winning title, despite all three contestants earning 40/40 for their fusions.
