Kristi Yamaguchi fired up the girl power on Tuesday, winning Season 6 of “Dancing With the Stars.”
The figure skating champ is the first woman to win ABC’s ballroom dance competition since Kelly Monaco won the first season.
“I love it. This is just the icing on the cake,” Yamaguchi said, calling the show a “dream experience.”
Yamaguchi and her partner, Mark Ballas, took home the mirrorball trophy after earning a perfect 90 from the judges for three dances. Those scores were combined with viewer votes. They were the front-runners from their first dance 10 weeks ago.
Despite baring their chests on Monday, football star Jason Taylor and actor Cristian de la Fuente were the runners-up. Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska came in second, while de la Fuente and Cheryl Burke took third.
“I’m hoping dancing makes me a better football player,” said Taylor, a defensive end for the Miami Dolphins.
