Ivana Knoll, the former Miss Croatia who became known as the “most beautiful fan” at the 2018 World Cup, stole the spotlight while walking around the Miami Grand Prix, even leaving the Sky Sports cameraman distracted.
In a video that went viral on social media, Sky Sports was broadcasting F1 when Knoll appeared on screen, causing the cameraman to shift his focus away from presenters Simon Lazenby, Naomi Schiff and Jenson Button, who were briefly pushed aside during the live broadcast.
The clip quickly caught the attention of internet users. “The cameraman forgot he was at work for about five seconds,” reads the caption of a post on X that included the footage of the moment. So far, the video has already accumulated more than 6 million views and hundreds of comments from users amused by the scene.
“The cameraman had a quick mission, but he completed the mission,” joked one X user. “At that moment, he was even thinking about putting the camera down and following her,” admitted another. “Fair play. Give the people what they want,” said a third internet user.
Ivana, who has more than 2.8 million followers on Instagram, caught the public’s attention during the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and later at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, earning the title of the world’s “most beautiful fan.”
In 2022, her bold outfits clashed with Qatar’s strict modesty laws. “I heard about the rules and was shocked. In the dress code, you are not allowed to show your shoulders, knees, stomach and neck. I was like: ‘Oh my God, I don’t even have clothes covering all of that,’” she said at the time.
