Helio Castroneves Wins Dancing With the Stars

For the third season in a row, a professional male athlete has been named the champion of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars.

Brazilian race-car driver and two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves beat out Spice Girl Melanie Brown and Marie Osmond (who was eliminated 15 minutes into the show) for the prized mirror ball trophy Tuesday. It was the second consecutive win for his partner, Julianne Hough, who won last season’s show with speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno.

“It’s amazing!” Castroneves, 32, said of his win after the show. “I’m speechless! I just proved to everybody that I really can dance!”
