Miss International 2011 returns to Ecuador

Miss International 2011, Maria Fernanda Cornejo of Ecuador, arrived to her country to be welcomed by her proud family and a group of fans, in order to celebrate the win of the first Grand Slam beauty title for her country.

After departing the airport, “Mafer” took part in a motorcar parade in the streets of Guayaquil, until she arrived to Gama TV station where she participated in a press conference.

Maria Fernanda told Ecuadorian newspaper El Comercio that she did not realize she had won, until her fellow contestants told her.

“I couldn’t hear my name. The pageant was in mandarin, which is a very different language. I was left on stage with Miss Panama and Miss Puerto Rico. They were the ones who told me “It’s you, it’s you!! I was in complete shock”.

22-year old Maria Fernanda won 2 million yuan (about USD 21,000) and a replica of the crown.

After her victory, she travelled to Japan to attend the Miss International Japan 2012 finals. She will also work with the Unicef, and will return to both China and Japan to help with fundraisers to benefit the victims of the earthquake that hit Sendai earlier this year.

During the press conference, Maria Fernanda was congratulated by Maria del Carmen Aguayo, president of the Miss Ecuador Organization.

Ecuador is on a roll. In 2011 alone, they won the titles of Miss International, Miss Earth, Miss America Latina and Miss Continente Americano. A powerhouse on the rise?

Miss International 2011 is Miss Ecuador

22 year old Maria Fernanda Cornejo Alfaro, from Quito, Ecuador, was crowned Miss International 2011 during the conclusion of the annual pageant held at the Sichuan Province Gymnasium in Chengdu, China, on November 6th. This is Ecuador’s first win of a Grand Slam pageant beauty crown.
The 1st runner-up was favorite Jessica Barboza, from Venezuela; and the 2nd runner-up was Tugsuu Idersaikhan, from Mongolia. The top three winners will stay in China for an extra week to attend commitments with sponsors of the pageant.
The 3rd runner-up was Puerto Rico (Desiree del Rio) and the 4th runner-up was Panama (Keity Mendieta).
Rest of the top 15 were: Brazil (Gabriella Marcelino), Latvia (Lelde Paulsone), Lebanon (Maria Farah), Netherlands (Tali Hertsenberg), Philippines (Dianne Necio), Russia (Elena Chepilchenko), Sweden (Denise Andree), Thailand (Kantapat Peerdachainarin), Trinidad & Tobago (Renee Bhagwandeen) and Vietnam (Truong Tri Truc Diem).
Miss Photogenic was Miss Venezuela, while there was a tie in the Miss Friendship award between Hawaii and Mexico. China won Miss Talent, Thailand won best National Costume, Philippines won Miss Internet and Ecuador bagged the titles of Miss Beauty and Best Figure.
It was surprising to see the exclusion of Miss Japan, a country that the Miss International organization ALWAYS put in the semi finals, since 1971 (except in 1993). Once again (and not surprising), no African contestant placed in the finals. Local press favorites from Colombia, Bolivia, South Africa and Paraguay also failed to reach the Semi Finals.(GB)
