VIÑA DEL MAR.- "My mouth is frozen", Cathrine Fulop uttered while swimming in the pool of the O'Higgins Hotel. It was 11:00 am when the Venezuelan beauty jumped into the water to fulfill one of the pageant rituals: the "pool dive".
Fulop, however, decided to concoct own version of the event. Taking advantage of her spectacular physical condition, the beauty queen threw herself into the water by doing a back flip, impressing many of the photographers and reporters present.
It is not every day you find a 42 year-old that can perform such an acrobat.
After being crowned the Queen of the Festival, Fulop held her long-awaited press conference wearing a black cover-up, under which the blue bikini could still be seen. "Here is your queen, just as she is", the Venezuelan model stated while showing off her toned and sculpted physique.
