You Thoanvannak (យូ ថនវណ្ណៈ), 30, of Cambodia was one of the 41 men officially sashed as Mister Supranational 2026 candidates on July 21, 2026. They received their respective sashes from the reigning Mister Supranational 2025 Swann Lavigne, 26, of France, who was accompanied by the reigning Miss Supranational 2025 Eduarda da Silva Braum, 25, of Brazil.
During the event, Thoanvannak expressed his pride as his country’s representative. He focused his speech on self-belief and motivation, declaring that a person’s background or origin does not dictate their level of success—only their courage to push forward. He closed with a call to action to inspire a generation that turns dreams into reality.
The sashing ceremony was held at Hotel Krakow in Krakow, Poland. The city is around 108 kilometers away from Nowy Sacz, Malopolska, Poland.
