Adam Rippon

Rippon became the first male figure skater to win the Mirrorball Trophy on Season 26 of the show, which featured all athletes. He was partnered with Jenna Johnson and the pair danced their way to the top — it was only Johnsons’s second season on the show and her first win!

Tonya Harding

A two-time Olympian and the first American woman to land a triple axel in competition, Harding was banned from professional skating  in 1994 after her alleged involvement in an attack against rival skater Nancy Kerrigan. 

But the former figure skater had a big year in 2018. She was the subject of the critically acclaimed I, Tonya and followed it up by competing in the 26th season of DWTS. The controversial skater, who proved herself a frontrunner in the first weeks of competition, finished in third place with partner Sasha Farber.

She competed with Alan Bersten, but was eliminated in week three of the competition.

Davis, who is the proud winner of a gold, silver and bronze Olympic medals in ice dancing, also won the Mirrorball Trophy when she competed with Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Season 18. 

The pair were quite the dynamic duo, delivering stunning performances and never scoring below an 8. No wonder they emerged as champions!
