At the 54th annual Miss Universe pageant held in the Thai capital of Bangkok, Miss Canada, Natalie Glebova was chosen over Miss Puerto Rico Cynthia Olavarria as Miss Universe 2005. Miss Canada, Natalie Glebova and Miss Puerto Rico Cynthia Olavarria were among five contestants selected to answer questions onstage in the final round of the competition. The others were from Mexico, the Dominican Republic and Venezuela.
The 23 year old brunette from Toronto, was asked what she considered the biggest challenge of her life. She said it was remaining optimistic.
"I always try to maintain a positive outlook on life," she said.
Thailand hopes that hosting the pageant will boost the country's tourism sector, which was badly hurt by last December's tsunami.
