[edit] Crowning 1960

      • - Heli Heiskala was chosen the winner of the 1960 pageant, but when the 1959 winner, Tarja Nurmi crowned Heiskala, the judges reconferred and decided that Nurmi should wear the crown for another year because she was more beautiful. This caused a MAJOR scandal in Finland.
