The clip was overlayed with a text that read: “Miss Italia Emilia Romagna non ci delude mai,” which translates to “Miss Italy Emilia Romagna neverdisappointsus.”
Despite her best efforts, the competitor’s performance went bust, as her dance moves were more akin to a slow-motion attempt at an elegant fall than a spirited routine.
Some of her kicks were seemingly inflexible. As she moved across the stage with a stoic composure, she somehow managed to pull off an impressive split towards the end.
