Vega said the contests leading to Miss Universe were the first she had participated in and will be her last, as she is eager to return to
her studies in business administration.

T

he 22-year-old is the granddaughter
of a legendary tenor, Gastón Vega.

She has said, “It will be a dream come
true to represent the woman of today. A
woman that not only cares about being
beautiful and being glamorous, but also
cares about being a professional, intelligent, hard-working person.”
The 24-year-old Sanchez has a
fourth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon
Do and has travelled the country teaching others. She spoke previously about
equipping women to defend themselves against crime.
“It’s just something that’s so prevalent
in our society, and why not empower
women to take control of a dangerous
situation into their own hand,” she said.

Miss Colombia was crowned by the
outgoing Miss Universe, Gabriela Isler
of Venezuela. The broadcast included
performances by singers Nick Jonas
and Prince Royce.
Crowd favourite Miss Venezuela Migbelis Lynette Castellanos was cut after
the top 10. The Miami suburb of Doral,
which was host to the women during
their stay, is also known as “Doralzuela”
for its many Venezuelan residents.
Three of the last six Miss Universe titles
have gone to Venezuela, where beauty
pageants are big business.
Chanel Beckenlehner, Canada’s repre-

sentative, was unable to advance to the
top 15 stage. The Caledon, Ont., was a
viral sensation earlier this week after
pictures of her hockey-themed outfit
hit the internet.
