Eleonora Mancheva

Bulgaria's Eleonora Mancheva became Mrs. Universe 2007.

For the first time since the beauty pageant was first held, the final round took place in Bulgaria, in the Sunny Beach resort at the Black Sea.

More than 50 women submitted their applications, but the organizers invited only 20 of them to take part in the final round.

Eleonora made it to the Mrs Universe competition after she became Mrs Bulgaria for 2006. Mrs Russia grabbed the first place prize, Mrs China take the second place, Mrs South Africa scored third and the fourth place went to Mrs India.

The 26-year-old beauty queen is married to the footballer Vlado Manchev.
