Veera Grönlund has been named the new Miss Finland, but the result has prompted discussion beyond the pageant itself. According to HBL, the 30-year-old is the oldest winner in the competition’s history.

That detail has become the focus of criticism around the contest, which has traditionally been associated with much younger candidates. HBL reports that Grönlund’s age has played a central role in the debate following the weekend’s selection.
