Year of the Dragon: Asian Domination in Miss Universe

We all know that Asian delegates had a hard time in getting into semis of Miss Universe Competition. But there are years that Asians were the one that dominated.

In 1988, Asia dominated Miss Universe in the year of the Dragon with four Asians in the top 5 with Mexico as the only Latina. Thailand's Porntip Nakhirunkanok grabbed the crown. I wanna watch it and see how these four Asian ladies graced MU. Chang Yoonjung of Korea won 1st runner up, Mizuho Sakaguchi of Japan was 3rd runner up and Pauline Yeung of Hongkong was 4th runner up.

In 1952, also a year of the Dragon and the start of the Miss Universe, one Asian dominated the top 5, Hongkong's Judy Dan ended 3rd runner up.

In 1964, another year of the Dragon, two Asians dominated again the top 5: Ronit Rechtman of Israel (2nd runner up) and Lana Yu Yi of China (4th runner up).

In 1976, year of the Dragon, Israel's Rina Messinger won the crown. Based on the pictures, she deserved it.

In 2000, yes a Dragon year, another Asian won the crown: Lara Dutta of India. She is the only who entered the top 10 (semifinalists). I saw the pageant and Lara was sparkling on stage and her answer was the key in winning.
