BLITZER: It was a dream come true gone horribly wrong. A woman crowned Miss Universe Canada only to have the prestigious title revoked all because of a very embarrassing mix-up. Here's CNN's John Berman.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Miss Universe Canada 2013 is Denise Garrido.</s>JOHN BERMAN, CNN ANCHOR (voice-over): Most beauty queens expect their reigns to last for a year.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Congratulations to our new Miss Universe Canada 2013.</s>BERMAN: But Denise Garrido's run as Miss Universe Canada lasted exactly one day. After stunning the audience during the competition, Garrido thought her childhood dreams had finally come true when she beat out 57 other women for the crown. But less than 24 hours later, the pageant's organizers realized a terrible mistake in the results. They made a typo which meant the first runner-up, Riza Santos, had actually won. And Denise Garrido placed fourth. The pageant stripped Garrido of her title and apologized in a statement saying, "We would like to offer our sincere apology to Denise Garrido for this human error discovery while validating the results. We have no doubt she will continue to succeed in her endeavors and we wish her well." Riza Santos, who had thought she had come so close only to place second, is now celebrating her new title. Santos won't have this same moment of glory, but will receive her crown in a private ceremony this weekend. Meanwhile, Garrido who is 26, is too old to compete again but she said she'd love to come back next year, this time as a judge. John Berman, CNN, New York.</s>BLITZER: Both women, by the way, appeared together on CNN's "STARTING POINT" this morning and there don't appear to be any hard feelings on either side.
