Twin sisters were crowned as both "Miss Lebanon 2012" and the first runner-up in Saturday’s beauty pageant, local newspaper The Daily Star has reported.  

21-year-old  Rina Chibany was named "Miss Lebanon 2012," while twin Romy followed her in the second place.  

“I’m very happy to have won. I promise to restore the pride of this position, in deeds, not in words,” Rina reportedly said after the contest, adding that she would have been much happier if her sister had won.
