Well, we all know that the 56th Miss Universe pageant took place at the National Auditorium in Mexico City, Mexico. The crown of Miss Universe was won by Riyo Mori of Japan.

In case you dont know or you missed it, during evening gown round, Miss Rachel Smith of Miss USA, took her walk, slipped and fell to the ground. She quickly got back to her feet and kept her composure as she finished her walk.

Imagine you are walking on the huge stage, all eyes focusing on you, but you slipped and your butt kissed the floor infront of national TV which was watching by millions of peoples worldwide, I cant imagine how bad it is…

Here is an article from Wikipedia:

Rachel Smith, Miss USA, was booed during and loudly jeered during her final interview. As she answered her question, there were loud shouts of “Mexico! Mexico!”, which continued until she answered in Spanish. This followed a similar incident during Miss Universe 1993, when that year’s Miss USA, Kenya Moore, was also booed. This may have been due to Miss USA making it into the top five despite slipping and falling during the evening gown competition, and thus leaving Miss Mexico and other favorites behind. It has also been attributed to what is seen as U.S. unfriendliness toward illegal immigrants by some Mexicans.

Smith had also been booed during the National Costume competition, an open-air event held prior to the final competition where admission was free to the public.

During all audience attended competitions, there were loud shouts of “Mexico, Mexico!” in support of Mexico’s delegate Rosa María Ojeda, which was also similar to events in 1993.
