The recently-crowned Miss Venezuela 2016, Keysi Sayago, said Thursday that she is "like any other Venezuelan woman," emphasizing the humble origins of her family and the sacrifices that, she said, she had to make to win the crown earlier this week. "More than a 'miss,' I've been Keysi, a Venezuelan woman like any other ... My family worked very hard ... My origins are sort of ... low-income. On her first day as Miss Venezuela, also her 23rd birthday, she said that all Venezuelans are "happy" with her coronation. Accompanied by the other four participants who make up the pageant's so-called "honor roll," Miss Venezuela livened up while responding to a question about the country's economic situation. Sayago triumphed over 23 other contestants in the pageant lasting more than four hours and received the crown from the hands of Mariam Habach, Miss Venezuela 2015, who will represent the South American country in the next Miss Universe pageant.
