Dancing With The Athletes: When Sports And Dance Collide
Like sports, dancing requires dexterity, athleticism and timing. So it's no surprise that professional athletes have dominated the hit TV show Dancing With The Stars. In the show's 24 seasons, athletes have won 10 times. Olympians and NFL players fare especially well, with nine combined championships.
Here are the 10 athletes who have won Dancing With The Stars:
Emmitt Smith
Emmitt Smith, the NFL's all-time rushing leader, couldn't help but sing along and grin during his samba with Cheryl Burke. He received perfect scores in the samba, mambo, rumba and Cha-Cha-Cha en route to becoming the DWTS Season 3 champion.
Apolo Ohno
Eight-time Olympic speed skating medalist Apolo Ohno left the ice behind to turn up the heat with partner Julianne Hough in their Cha-Cha-Cha. Ohno went on to win Season 4 of DWTS.
Hélio Castroneves
Three-time Indy 500 winner Hélio Castroneves was almost as fast to pick up dancing as he is on the racetrack. Though his jive was not his best dance according to the judges, Castroneves left it all out on the floor, starting the dance on a sprained ankle and finishing with ripped pants and a bloodied knee.
Kristi Yamaguchi
Olympic figure skating gold medalist and DWTS Season 6 champion Kri
