It was the swimsuit round of the Miss Universe 2019 preliminary competition where the wet stage floor was the culprit as several models fell down – Miss Uruguay, Miss France, Miss Indonesia, Miss Malaysia, Miss New Zealand and Miss Malta.
Although they picked themselves up with a smile, and kept going. The audience was quite supportive as they applauded each contestant to help them feel better and keep their confidence up.

Even during the live show, a staff was seen mopping up the floor while the contestants came upstage. Fortunately, none of the women were injured but this was called out as a huge failure of the organizers who couldn’t come with proper logistics to manage this event.

Miss France Maëva Coucke shared a video of the incident on Instagram

PRELIMINARY SHOW – Hier soir j’ai vécu la pire hantise d’une Miss : tomber sur scène. Jusqu’ici ça ne m’était jamais arrivé, mais la vie nous réserve parfois des bonnes comme des mauvaises surprises. Il faut tirer une leçon de chaque expérience, et la leçon que j’en tire est que tomber et se relever est le principe même de la vie d’une femme, le principal c’est d’avancer peu importe les obstacles. Si tu tombes 9 fois relèves toi 10 fois et garde la tête haute ! Nos expériences nous font grandir, mûrir et nous rendent plus forte. ?? Je tiens à vous remercier pour vos messages et à vous rassurer je ne me suis pas blessée. Merci pour votre soutien, je vous aime ?????? PRELIMINARY SHOW – Last night I experienced the worst obsession of a Miss: falling on stage. So far it has never happened to me, but life sometimes gives us good as bad surprises. A lesson must be learned from each experience, and the lesson I draw from it is that falling and standing up is the very essence of a woman's life, the main thing is to move forward regardless of obstacles. If you fall 9 times raise 10 times and keep your head high! Our experiences make us grow, mature and make us stronger. ? I want to thank you for your messages and to reassure you I did not hurt myself. Thank you for your support, you are the best ? #missuniverse #missuniverse2019 #missfrance #staystrong #keepyourheadup #thankyou #proud
