It seems like 22 is Nyle’s lucky number!

Nyle came out on top in America’s Next Top Model Cycle 22 and last night he seized the Mirror Ball in Dancing With The Stars Season 22!

Last night was a win for the entire Deaf community. Nyle DiMarco dedicated his win on Tuesday’s finale episode of Dancing With the Stars to all the "deaf people in this world" — because they were his inspiration.

While Nyle did an amazing job throughout the entire season, Monday May 23rd highlighted a special and powerful performance that brought many of us to tears -- DiMarco and Murgatroyd performed to Disturbed's cover of the Simon & Garfunkel classic "The Sound of Silence," a song that DiMarco feels resonates with being deaf.

Carrie Ann Inaba stated that it was the best performance in the history of the show. This speaks volumes of his talent, considering she had 22 seasons of the ABC show to draw from.

What a feat! I think it’s safe to say that we as a community, as a whole, are extremely proud of Nyle!

With that said, we’d like to congratulate Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd. You both have truly redefined dance! Let’s take a look back at Nyle’s journey throughout the season.
