Yesterday the 18-year-old delegate from Puerto Rico, Zuleyka Rivera was crowned Miss Universe 2006 in Los Angeles, California.
First Runner Up: Miss Japan, Kurara Chibana (photo above) will assume the duties of Miss Universe 2006 if the titleholder for some reason cannot fulfill her responsibilities.
