Alexandra Catalina Filip was crowned as Miss Universe Romania 2010 in Bucharest, Romania, on Friday, July 9, 2010. The 19-year old beauty queen was very happy upon receiving the crown from former Miss Romania Bianca Elena Constantin but the whole nation was shocked when she gave up her title to first runner-up Oana Paveluc.

The newly crowned Miss Universe Romania 2010 said that she wanted to represent her country to the upcoming Miss Universe pageant which will be held in Las Vegas, USA, but she thinks that she would not be able to fulfill the obligations and responsibilities stated in the contract and in the Miss Universe competition policy and guidelines.

Filip is a professional dancer and a national champion (2008 – 2010). She will be joining the international dancing competition together with her partner Ramon Zedan in South Korea on August 28 which unfortunately conflicted with the Miss Universe beauty pageant. Though the competition will be held five days after the beauty pageant, she would definitely need rigid training to be able to prepare for the said dance competition.

Paveluc, the 18-year old from the city of Brasov, is the new Miss Universe Romania 2010. She is a student from Remus Radulet Technical Highschool in Brasov, Romania and has completed several acting courses. She couldn’t believe that she’ll be her country’s representative and what she can say is that she’s extremely happy. Paveluc will join other 80+ contestants for the Miss Universe 2010 competition.
