From winning gold and silver medals at the Rio Olympics to winning the mirror ball at Dancing With The Stars… What a year it’s been for Laurie Hernandez?! Laurie and her Dancing With The Stars partner, Valentin Chmerkovskiy were announced winners of the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy and champions of season 23 of #DWTS to the delight of all at the show’s finale, Tuesday night.
