There may have been a few mix-ups during Sunday night’s Miss Universe 2015 beauty pageant, but there’s no question that Miss Slovenia stole the show.
Miss Slovenia’s Ana Halozan had been preparing for her moment on stage for months, but all that hard work disappeared in seconds when she suffered from an unexpected seizure, which left the right side of her face completely paralyzed.
When she woke up in the hospital, doctors told her she wouldn’t be able to attend the pageant. Despite not being allowed to compete in this year’s show, Ana still managed to have her moment.
“Ana has always had big dreams,” Ana’s mom Mojca Marovt said. “When she gets some idea in her head, nothing will stop her.”
“She thought she had lost her chance, but she didn’t,” Steve said as he welcomed Ana to the stage. “Let’s give her that moment for fulfilling her dream of walking on the Miss Universe stage with her friends. Please welcome Miss Universe Slovenia.”
“When they say to me in hospital that I can’t go to the pageant, I was, like, are you joking with me? I will go,” Ana said.
