At the onset, Colombia's Patricia Ruiz was the favorite alongside other names as Misses India, Philippines, USA, and Italy.   But as soon as the pageant competition progressed, Chile's Cecilia Bolocco would run away ahead of the pack, a feat which she began during the interview competition.  4th runner-up Puerto Rico's Laurie Simpson went on to win the Miss International pageant later that year.
