This surprised lots of people around the world, who thought Uzbekistan didn't hold beauty contests like that. It especially surprised Uzbekistan, who knew Uzbekistan didn't hold beauty contests like that. The contestant was named Rakhima Ganieva, and she claimed she'd won some kind of national qualifying competition. That was good enough for the organizers of Miss World, but not for the international news media. Ganieva did come from the Uzbek capital of Tashkent like she claimed, as the media were able to track down an agency whose course she took as a teen. But there was no such "national qualifying competition," and even that modeling agency wasn't too keen to support their alum. "If there had been a process to choose a young lady for this competition, I can assure you that a much more beautiful model would have been chosen," said a rep. Meanwhile, the president's daughter, who had ties to the fashion industry, called Ganieva a "Tajik-looking girl" (we're guessing Uzbekistan and Tajikistan are bitter rivals and each call the other ugly). Ganieva didn't make it past the first round, so her fraud didn't earn her eternal glory. The only news we have on her since then is from her personal Facebook page. Uzbekistan, however, did go on to enter beauty pageants. Not Miss World, but they did crown a Miss Intercontinental Uzbekistan, who'll compete in Miss Intercontinental, a pageant which apparently exists.
