Monika Lewczuk, from Plock, Poland, won the III edition of Miss Supranational, in the city of Plock, in Poland. One of the favorites to win the title, her victory was no surprise for those following the pageant. She received the sash and crown from Panama’s Karina Pinilla, last year’s winner.
The 1st runner-up was Miss Belarus, Liudmila Yakimovich. It’s the 2nd time in three years that Belarus places 2nd in the pageant, being the first in 2009.

Rounding out the Top 5, as 4th runner-up, was Miss USA, Krystelle Khoury, one of the favorites.
Perhaps the biggest upset of the night was the non-inclusion of Miss French Polynesia, Mihilani Teixeira, the #1 favorite for the crown, among the ‘top 5′. She was a semi-finalist, along with Misses Brazil, Suymara Barreto Parreira, Colombia, Tania Zuluaga Candamil, Czech Republic, Aneta Grabcová, Dominican Republic, Sofinel Baez Santos, France, Analisa Kebaili, Hungary, Agnes Konkoly, Iceland, Gudrun Runarsdottir, India, Michelle Almeida, Latvia, Eva Caune, Lebanon, Daniella Rahme, Panama, Lidia Elena McNulty Espino, Slovenia, Suzana Matic, South Africa, Dhesha Jeram, and Ukraine, Natalia Sitnikova.
