    Irwin performed to a blend of Australian and international music throughout the finale.<\/p>\n

    His freestyle round featured songs by Sydney-born Sam Sparro<\/b> and beloved electronic artist Avicii<\/b>. One dance was choreographed to music by Australian rock band Jet<\/b>, giving the performances an Australian flavor befitting the young conservationist.<\/p>\n

    How Irwin Pushed Through Serious Rib Injury to Win<\/h2>\n

    Robert Irwin revealed he was battling significant physical pain throughout the finale week.<\/p>\n

    In pre-performance interviews, the 21-year-old explained: “I’ve been dealing with rib pain; it’s been getting progressively worse.” He worried that pushing too hard could cause a serious injury that would sideline him from his required dances.<\/p>\n

    Witney Carson<\/b> shared her concern, stating: “This is where my motherly instincts come in. At the end of the day, his health is my priority.” Despite the injury, the pair adapted their choreography and completed every dance flawlessly to earn their championship title.<\/p>\n

    Robert Irwin Tearfully Dedicates Win to Late Father Steve Irwin<\/h2>\n

    \n“I wish he could see it, I really wish he could be here.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    \u2014 Robert Irwin<\/b>, Dancing with the Stars Season 34 Champion<\/p>\n

    Emotions ran high when Irwin spoke about his father after his final performance.<\/p>\n

    The young wildlife warrior broke down in tears during the finale, expressing his desire to make his late father proud. Steve Irwin<\/b>, the legendary “Crocodile Hunter,” was killed by a stingray barb in 2006 while filming a documentary off the Australian coast. Robert was just an infant at the time.<\/p>\n

    Throughout the season, Irwin paid tribute to his father with emotional performances. His family, including mother Terri Irwin, sister Bindi Irwin, and Bindi’s husband Chandler Powell<\/b>, attended the finale and celebrated his victory from the audience.<\/p>\n

    Does This Victory Make the Irwin Family a Dancing Dynasty?<\/h2>\n

    With Robert’s championship, the Irwin family now has a remarkable legacy on Dancing with the Stars.<\/p>\n

    Bindi Irwin won Season 21 in 2015<\/b> at just 17 years old, becoming one of the youngest winners in show history. Exactly a decade later, her younger brother claimed the same prize, making them one of very few sibling pairs to both win the competition.<\/p>\n

    During the celebration, Robert referenced his sister’s victory, stating: “My sister said it best: Thank you for changing my life.” The show has clearly transformed both siblings’ careers and lives.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":18445,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"schema_org_data":"{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Robert Irwin\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/2170934\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Witney Carson\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/uGDLhJPeZtWRBHKy66xpUbDYrKW.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1504623\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Bindi Irwin\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/i4MHvUQPywtwqKrIC5TathoPoTE.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/137429\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Alix Earle\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/qsyHx2LAjf5MwvTo3Xlc8gTmOCN.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/5016322\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Jordan Chiles\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/9NIGMcXoozjIgozLfWdnbLVEQ0U.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/4386425\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Alfonso Ribeiro\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/9yDIqDBOSRgSoZHGKHYt09gvsrG.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/169440\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Julianne Hough\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/gFVAIfRzOEVWs9PWJGA93Ttc6zw.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/143240\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Dylan Efron\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/2HWFHEhQfPHR4EkUAbiOHD5pfUW.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/2752495\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Daniella Karagach\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/brdXCtfmKDFKJ7pZm42BROdBfx6.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/5707972\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Elaine Hendrix\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/ajnxlCCO0IYQeaL2KOJwjFWkFG0.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/55422\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Alan Bersten\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/5p8R5SDv7NtGIEabEXc0rVUyTBW.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/5707968\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Val Chmerkovskiy\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/kGKrOnhfANfy9Nps9jIDhg8uuYI.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1583970\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Ezra Sosa\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/jDbtsdNyCnUc9qAvUQZzoHeooVF.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/3336146\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Steve Irwin\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/3773924\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Terri Irwin\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/gEf0Ydkl8eBfCgzNOVzRPySzrPM.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/559671\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Chandler Powell\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/9yBQv3g886PLzqTUkqZKsaqXffE.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/3034715\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Sam Sparro\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/g592hIO72a8n0ZmZ6BbyjmQLfFJ.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1226234\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Avicii\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/ucpsHXNxj5gjb5S1caCyt1USf4K.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1101345\"]},{\"@type\":\"TVSeries\",\"name\":\"Dancing with the Stars\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/5ropLAggzraCNoT6QPltb9lxeP3.jpg\",\"dateCreated\":\"2005-06-01\",\"aggregateRating\":{\"@type\":\"AggregateRating\",\"ratingValue\":6.088,\"bestRating\":\"10\",\"ratingCount\":125},\"description\":\"The competition sees celebrities perform choreographed dance routines which are judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts and voted on by viewers.
