Catharina Brink (née Svensson) is a Danish lawyer, model and beauty queen who won the first ever Miss Earth 2001. She is married to Jan Brink, a seven-time Swedish dressage champion.
Svensson became the first Miss Earth, an annual international beauty pageant promoting environmental awareness, when she was crowned on 28 October 2001. At the time of her crowning, the 19-year-old Svensson was a third year law student and a part-time model. It was her first time to participate in any beauty contest; she was appointed by the national pageant director of Miss Earth Denmark.[1][2][3]
In October 2005, she went back to the Philippines and served as one of the judges in the Miss Earth 2005, the fifth edition of the pageant.[4]
