If Apolo Anton Ohno is right, the "Dancing with the Stars" crown may soon pass to another Olympian.

The eight time Olympic medal winning speed skater and 2007 "Dancing" champ told Jay Leno that the figure skating gold medalist Evan Lysacek will be the last man standing (or dancing).

In coming to that conclusion, Ohno wasn't just nodding to Lysacek's athleticism. He was taking a look at the other contestants physical attributes, but aerodynamic impediments.

Yep, Ohno called out Pamela Anderson and her most prominent features.

“Between, what is it, Pam Anderson and Evan Lysacek?” Ohno told the talk show host. “Pam Anderson, she’s a little top-heavy. I think Evan is going to do very well. Plus, he’s an Olympic medalist!”

Nobody has broken out their Charleston just yet, but audiences already seem to agree with Ohno's analysis. A recent poll by TVGuide.com showed that 40 percent of those surveyed think Lysacek will be the season 10 winner.

Were Lysack competing in ABC's proposed on-ice edition of "Dancing" Ohno's prediction might just be a foregone conclusion.
