Wie kan mij helpen aan de Engelse vertaling van 'rondemiss'? Oftewel een dame die de prijzen uit mag reiken bij een wielerwedstrijd en de winnaar een dikke zoen mag geven. Is hier een fatsoenlijke Engelse term voor?

"Podium girl" seems to be more common:
-> "Covering Le Tour is no easy-peasy - the days are long, transfers are far, dinner comes after 10PM, and of course this is France… But who's complaining when you get to spend time with the Podium Girls of Le Tour"
http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/?pg=fullstory&id=5088
-> "It may not be your typical podium girl, but Tim Johnson gets a kiss for his efforts nonetheless."

what is? // "Slang. A young woman.", "A person regarded as physically attractive: beauty, belle", so hardly discriminatory in an offensive sense. Where I come from, incidentally, it's a term of endearment used for either sex, akin to 'darling'.

tour hostess
Part of that quartet is 22-year-old Alice Carlier, in her second year as a Tour "hostess", as they are known.
She told the BBC Sport website: "It got a little boring kissing Lance Armstrong every day last time and it's already getting boring this year".
