Miss Venezuela was crowned Miss Universe 2008.
But for the second year in a row, Miss USA fell down during the evening gown competion.
22 year-old Miss Venezuela, Dayana Mendoza, was once kidnapped in her homeland. She says the experience taught her to remain poised under pressure.
As for this year's Miss USA tumble, Crystle Steward of Texas tripped on the train of her evening gown as she made her entrance.
You might recall, during the 2007 Miss Universe contest in Mexico City, Miss USA Rachel Smith also tumbled during the evening gown competition.
Like Smith, Stewart quickly stood up after her fall and continued on as if nothing had happened.
Her mishap occurred just after the judges had narrowed the field of 80 to the final 10: Miss USA, Miss Kosovo, Miss Australia, Miss Spain, Miss Mexico, Miss Colombia, Miss USA, Miss Dominican Republic, Miss Russia, Miss Italy and Miss Venezuela.

Angelina Jolie gave birth to a girl and a boy, around 6:30 p.m. Saturday.
The doc (Dr. Michel Sussmann) said Angelina, the babies and her partner, Brad Pitt, "are doing marvelously well."
The boy is named Knox Leon, and the girl is Vivienne Marcheline. The boy weighed 5.03 pounds and the girl 5 pounds.
During the labor and delivery, Brad and Angelina couple "were talking, they were together". The doctor told reporters, "It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy."
Brad never left her side – and even cut the babies' umbilical cords.
The doctor said, "He was ... perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional".
Asked whether the birth had been a textbook delivery, the doc replied, "absolutely no problems."
He said Angelina "will stay for a few days. You know, in Europe it isn't like in the United States, where the patients go home after three days. They will stay a bit longer until everything is okay."
He added: "The babies are fine. The babies are with the mother and father and they are fine."
Two magazines are fighting for the rights to the official first photographs of the Angelina-Brad Pitt twins. People and OK! are bidding, and sources say the money could top $15 million.
(The baby dough will likely be used to fund the couple’s two charitable organizations: the Jolie-Pitt Foundation and the Make it Right Foundation, which is Brad Pitt’s group that’s dedicated to rebuilding New Orleans.)
