According to foreign media such as AP and AFP on the 21st (local time), Fatima Bosch won this year's Miss Universe crown as the No. 1 participant from 120 countries in the world. The runner-up was the host country, Praveena Singh (29) of Thailand, and the third place was Miss Venezuela, Stephanie Abasali (25).
The Miss Universe contest is considered one of the world's four major beauty contests, but this competition has been noisy even before the official opening. In particular, a high-ranking official of the organizing committee, Nawat Ataragraisil, director of Thailand, spoke rudely to the participants at a preliminary event on the 4th.
Fatima Bosch does not comply with the requirements of the organizing committee from Nawat Ataragraixil at the timereceived a public rebuke for " Nawat Ataragraixil "I have a lot of money. If you follow the Mexican chief's words, you're a dummy" he made an insulting remark, and when Bosch protested, he called in security and tried to drag him out of the venue.
Fatima Bosch, however, was undaunted and walked out with her fellow contestants. To reporters at the time, he said "The director's behavior was rude. He called me a fool. "We are powerful women, and this contest is the stage on which we will speak out."
Controversy spread as the incident was released live online. The organizing committee issued an emergency statement and said it would consider legal measures, including the removal of Nawat Ataragraisil's authority, but no concrete action was taken in the end. Nawat Ataragraisil also apologized in tears at an official press conference, but was further criticized for claiming that `I never said it was a fool' and `I didn't mean to hurt anyone.'
In Mexico, Fatima Bosch's confident response drew a lot of attention. Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's first female president, praised the example of `women speaking out against attacks.' In Bosch's hometown of Villarermosa, thousands of residents gathered at the ballpark to watch the competition live, and at the moment of the crown award, the festive atmosphere was unfolded with fireworks.
After winning the championship, Bosch said in a press conference, `I want to be remembered as Miss Universe, who has no fear of being herself, and Miss Universe, who has changed the original form a little", he expressed his feelings.
