They won with 1% votes more than the second place finisher's, Gilles Marini and his partner Cheryl Burke, after combined with the judges' scores.
On the first night (Monday, May 18) of the two-night finale, each couple performed two dances - a paso doble set to the same song, Pink's "So What", and the anything-goes freestyle. Both Shawn and Gilles scored 58 from the judges for their two performances.

Olympian Shawn Johnson Becomes The Youngest Contestant To Win The Disco Trophy Ball In "Dancing With The Stars"
19 May 2009 11:44 PM, PDT | From icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news
Gymnast champ Shawn Johnson is also a champ in the ballroom. The Olympic gold medalist narrowly beat actor Gilles Marini as the winner of the eighth season of "Dancing With the Stars."
At 17, Johnson became the youngest contestant ever to join the show. Partnered with professional dancer Mark Ballas, she was handed the disco ball trophy after her thumping the "Sex and the City" actor with just less than 1 percent lead, the closest margin ever in the history of the show.
This is Ballas' second win. He was partnered with another Olympic gold medalist, figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi, when they were named winners of the sixth season of the show.
It might have been a sweet victory for Johnson, who missed her prom earlier this month, but for Marini, this might just be the most disappointing loss. He and two-time champ partner Cheryl Burke had scored more highest-scores for the week than any other contestant.
