Slovenia has never won a world beauty contest.

Slovenes are beautiful, but the world hasn’t realized it yet. So far, there has never been a Slovenian miss world, a Slovenian miss universe, a Slovenian miss earth or miss international. The same goes for men: Slovenia has won Olympic medals and international competitions aplenty, but never mister world, mister universe or manhunt international. In 2010, a Slovak named Peter Meňky won – and it’s likely that some newspapers mixed him up for a Slovene – but it remains to be seen what beauty contest a Slovene will win first.
