Miss Universe contestants must be over 18 years old. A contract is signed with the winner of the competition for a period of one year, during which she travels around the world, participating in promotions.
In the XXI century, the title of Miss Universe was mainly received by Hispanics and Asians. The winner of this year was the representative of Africa, Miss Angola Leila Lopes. But the first vice-miss of the Miss Universe 2024 contest, which was held in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, was elected Ukrainian Olesya Stefanko. Ukraine has been participating in the Miss Universe contest for 15 years already, last year the representative of this country Anna Poslavskaya became the third vice-miss. Anna Poslavskaya was born in Novaya Kakhovka, then lived in Kiev. She received her education in international business management. But Olesya Stefanko showed the best result in all 15 years.
Olesya is 22 years old, she lives in the not unknown city of Odessa. Olesya is studying at the Institute of Prosecution and Investigation. She speaks Ukrainian perfectly. Olesya's heart is still free. Her parents are ordinary people, originally from the village of Kovalivka, Ivano-Frankivsk region of Ukraine. Father is a repairman, mother is a housewife. In one of her interviews, Olesya Stefanko noted that she considers second place to be a very great achievement for herself as well. However, Olesya herself, most likely, is distinguished by her firm character and determination, as evidenced by one of the entries on her Vkontakte page: "You need to fight to the end ... And suddenly fortune will be overwhelmed))". Well, this year, fortune smiled not only on Olesya Stefanko, but also on Ukraine, which had been going to this second place for 15 years. Can we wait for next year? It is possible that fortune will remain on the side of the Ukrainian women.
Olesya Stefanko is a participant in the Miss Universe contest, where the Ukrainian beauty took second place.
