Miss Puerto Rico Is Miss Universe 2006
July 24, 2006 02:07:10
The 18-year-old Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza of Puerto Rico comes out as the winner of the 55th Miss Universe contest, thus marks the fifth time the crown has gone to Puerto Rican. The 175cm tall was chosen and crowned Miss Universe at the event, held Sunday night July 23rd at the fabled Shrine Auditorium near downtown Los Angeles.
Shared a nervous emotional hug with first runner-up, Kurara Chibana of Japan, moments before the winner was announced, Mendoza immediately clasped her hands to her mouth in amazement as her name was called. Had the crown placed on her head, the newly crowned Miss Universe briefly fainted after a post-pageant news conference but quickly recovered after being given liquids.
