Miss China wins Miss World?
-
23-year-old Zhang Zilin, who holds the title Miss China, has won the Miss World pageant, with Miss Angola and Miss Mexico the top runners-up.
The 57th Miss World contest was held at Sanya, a tourist resort in southern China's Hainan province, with the final round of judging Saturday. The program included messages aimed at increasing public awareness of the dangers of AIDS and HIV, in honor of World AIDS Day.
Zhang, a secretary, was the pre-pageant favorite to win the title. As the tallest woman in the competition at 182 centimeters, she made a wry reference to her height and China's huge population during the interview phase of the pageant, saying she felt strong support because "there are 1.3 billion people behind me."
As part of the pageant's AIDS prevention theme, Nelson Mandela's grandson Mandla Mandela introduced a video of the former South African president's message for World AIDS Day. The Nobel laureate's daughter, Maki, was one of the competition's nine judges.
Nelson Mandela's son Makgatho died of AIDS-related illness in 2005.
Organizers say the Miss World competition was broadcast worldwide to an enormous potential audience.
This definitely feels hokey to me but a very good PR stunt by China -
is she made of cardboard or chiong version of a woman?
-
China is so full of it........
I bet later olympics also sure got problem wan
like maybe the supply the olympians cardboard Pau
Or put steroid inside their gatorade so that the other olympians kena disqualified -
lets see
contestant is a secretary whose last blog entry was 'dream'--->trying to tell the poor people who work in harsh conditions in work camps that their dreams may come true?
Miss China wins Miss World----> a year before the Beijing Olympics?
Miss China wins Miss World (redux) ----> Host country of competition in China?
Miss China (herself) ---->look at that first picture...doesn't she looked malnourished compared to the runner-ups surrounding her in the 2nd picture? -

She looks okay la although not a stunning beauty.Originally posted by beavan:she's not pretty at all.
In my humble opinion, the best beauty is blond hair with stunning and attractive blue eyes.

Last time, my Dad told me there was a also a Miss Singapore for the first time, getting into a top 10 position when Miss universe was held in Singapore. Hmmm..Host country do have an influence in the result.
-
Wait I'm confused...it says she's the tallest in the pageant but the photo clearly shows her as being really really short.
-
These contests are never about beauty.
It's all politics.
Long time ago when Singapore was host to the Miss Universe pageant, Ms Singapore actually made it to the final 10 if I can recall correctly.
And if I am not mistaken, usually the host country will make it the final rounds for most of these contests.
Go figure. -
