LOS ANGELES - Maurice Greene won't be running around the "Dancing with the Stars" ballroom anymore.

The former sprinter and his professional partner, Cheryl Burke, were eliminated Tuesday from ABC's popular dancing competition. The pair received a total score of 48 out of 60 from judges for their quickstep and paso doble routines Monday. After viewer votes were combined with the judges' scores, the 34-year-old Olympic gold medalist was dismissed.

"I had a lot of fun," an upbeat Greene said after being eliminated. "I made a lot of new friends out here. I learned how to dance out here in front of millions of people every night. I had a great time."

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Warren Sapp is one of the four remaining celebrity contestants. The others are model-actress Brooke Burke, singer Lance Bass and "Hannah Montana" actor Cody Linley.

Linley will rejoin his professional partner, Julianne Hough, who missed two weeks of competition because of surgery to remove her appendix.

Previously dismissed were: actresses Susan Lucci and Cloris Leachman; singer Toni Braxton; chef Rocco DiSpirito; reality TV star Kim Kardashian; actor Ted McGinley and comedian Jeffrey Ross. Olympic volleyball player Misty May-Treanor dropped out of the competition after rupturing her tendon.
