Last year the then reigning champion Rachel Smith fell flat on her arse, now this year’s USA champion, Crystle Stewart did the same while strutting her stuff at the Miss Universe pageant 2008.

How hard can it be to walk across the stage?

Anyway it’s fair to say that pretty much hit the US’s hopes of winning the title, which eventually went to Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza, who didn’t fall over.

See to win Miss Universe, we are pretty sure the criteria is to be hot, but also have the ability to walk 20 yards across a stage.

Something for Team America to work on for next year.
