was a short one.
The Bradford, Ont., native was crowned the
winner out of 57 contestants Saturday night, but
about 24 hours later, organizers realized a
whopper of a mistake and she was dethroned.
As it turns out, Garrido was actually a runner-up
— named the winner over Calgary's Riza Santos
due to an mathematical error.
"During the validation of the computerized
scoring results (which occurs the following day),
a typo was discovered in the top five entries,
which significantly impacted the final results of
the competition," pageant director Denis Davila
said in a release. "This is the first instance of this
type of error in the 11 years that Beauties of
Canada (BOC) has produced the Miss Universe
Canada (MUC) pageant.
"This is an unfortunate circumstance where a
human error was made and in such a situation,
as difficult as it is, it is only right to correct the
error."
