The final question to the Top 5 at Miss Teen International was, “Do you think Beauty Pageants should be the part of Olympics. Why or why not?” Vietnam’s Ngo Ngoc Gia Ha gave the winning answer, “I believe that Beauty Pageants are more than the external beauty and should be considered as the very important part of the entertainment industry. I do not think Beauty Pageants should be included in the Olympics as they differ in nature and we should respect the beauty pageants and sports equally and separately. Representing my country at Miss Teen International is no less than Olympics even if it is not a part of Olympics.”
