Last night, Olympian Adam Rippon was crowned the winner of the all-athlete edition of Dancing with the Stars, becoming the first openly gay person to win the show in all of its 26 seasons.

After a long and dramatic battle to the top, Rippon and partner Jenna Johnson bested figure skater Tonya Harding and NFL player Josh Norman in the finale with a jazz and freestyle performance.

"The Mirrorball has now taken on a new meaning, someone like me is accepted and I feel loved," the 28-year-old Olympic ice skater said before his freestyle dance.

Congrats Adam! Relive his finale performances below!
