Karolína Michalčíková to represent Slovak Republic at Miss Earth 2022
Karolína Michalčíková has been revealed as the Slovak Republic's official representative to the Miss Earth 2022 pageant in the Philippines this November. The 23-year-old professional makeup artist from Trenčín was named Miss Universe Slovakia in a national competition held last month and is also expected to compete in the 71st Miss Universe pageant this January. This year also marks the return of Slovakia to the Miss Earth competition after two years of absence. The country first joined in 2005 and its highest placement so far was a Top 8 finish in 2014 with Dária Fabrici. It isn't the first time a Miss Universe Slovakia crossed over to Miss Earth. Back in 2006, Judita Hrubyová participated in Miss Universe and went on to place in the Top 16 at Miss Earth. The only exception this time is Karolina will go to Miss Earth prior to Miss Universe, and if she wins the Philippines-based pageant that would be another story. Miss Earth 2022 will take place on Tuesday, November 29 at Okad
