Miss Venezuela Ana Elizabeth Mosquera Gomez has just been crowned Miss
International 2010 earlier tonight, November 7, at the Sichuan Province Gymnasium in Chengdu, China.
Venezuela has won the title in 2006 and the crown goes back to them in just 4 years. It's also their 4th Ms. Int'l crown within 10 years. Wow! They've won the title in 1985, 1997, 2000, 2003 and 2006.
Though I'm kinda disappointed that top favorites Philippines and Japan didn't even end up at least as runner-up, Venezuela's victory was just fine because she's also a big favorite.
In fact, on Mykiru's list of favorites, Venezuela was 3rd and the official Top 15 were also generally favourable because they're all part of Mykiru's Top 30 Favorites.
There's nothing much surprising on this year's pageant except that Miss China was highly favored and was secured with a 2nd Runner Up placement. Reminds me of what happened at the Miss World 2010 last week where China also placed higher than the major faves.
