Miss Czech Republic Krystyna Pyszkova
NANGHINAYANG ang Pinoy pageant fans sa sinapit ni Gwendolyne Fourniol sa katatapos lang na 2024 Miss World pageant na ginanap kagabi sa Mumbai, India.
Hindi man lang kasi nakapasok sa Top 40 ang bet ng Pilipinas kaya parang tinamad nang manood sa naganap na grand coronation ang mga kababayan natin all over the world.
Marami ang “humopia” (hoping) na malaki ang fighting chance ni Gwendolyne na makapasok sa quarter-finals dahil isa siya sa mga nangunguna sa fast track events ng pageant.
Baka Bet Mo: Gwendolyne nagningning sa ‘Beauty with a Purpose’ gala ng Miss World
Kabilang na riyan ang pag-secure niya ng Top 20 spot sa Top Model Challenge, Top 23 sa Talent Challenge at Top 25 sa Head-to-Head Challenge. Isa rin siya sa mga napili sa Sports Challenge na mula sa Asia and Oceania.
Ngunit kahit na nalaglag agad sa nasabing International beauty pageant si Gwendolyne, binati pa rin siya ng mga netizens sa naging journey niya sa contest.
Si Miss Czech Republic Krystyna Pyszkova ang kinoronahang Miss World 2024 at in fairness, siguradong ang nagpanalo sa kanya ay ang kanyang sagot sa final round ng Q&A.
Ang question sa Top 4 candidates ay i-pitch ang kanilang purpose as the next Miss World to the “sharks of Shark Tank India.” Sabi sa kanila ng host ng event na si Miss World 2013 Megan Young. “You’re pitching to the sharks of Shark Tank India as the next Miss World. Give it a shot.”
Narito ang mga paandar na sagot ng apat na finalist.
MISS CZECH REPUBLIC KRYSTYNA PYSZKOVA
“Imagine that you are a child and you have your dreams and your hopes.
But as you grow older, your dreams are going further and further away.
“Now imagine that you are a parent and your child needs to go through the same situation, having a dream. But while growing up, the dream is going further and further.
“And that’s because the children don’t get the proper education to fulfill the dream career. As of 2024, it’s still a fact that 250 million children are out of the school worldwide. And that’s why my lifelong mission is providing quality education to unprivileged children.
“I believe that education is a fundamental right every child deserves. And I’m here to advocate for those children. It’s something that I’ve been doing for a very long time, much before I entered the pageantry. It’s something that was really close to my heart and what I’ll be doing either I win or I don’t win the Miss World. Thank you so much!”
MISS TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO ACHÉ ABRAHAMS
“Namaste, everyone. Sorry, I’m excited. So firstly, when I stand here, I represent 1.4 million people of Trinidad and Tobago. And what I can offer Miss World is the mindset of my people. In India, I know you say Vasudev Kudam (Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam). Sorry, I butchered it. But the point is you say ‘The world is one family.’
“In sweet TNT, we say ‘May every creed and race find an equal place.’ And so the way I live my life is with that motto, with that mantra. And I believe Miss World has a similar mantra.
“I believe when you have compassion and understanding for differences, you can really make a difference in the world and work hand in hand to create a bright future.
“For me, I’m so honored to be here and to share the mindset of TNT, because we can truly make a difference. In Sweet Trinidad and Tobago, we acknowledge our similarities, but more importantly, we celebrate our differences. We see the beauty in diversity and we promote inclusion.
“So, I would love to be part of this organization and to do so and work with you all to create a brighter future and a happy world. Thank you so much.”
MISS BOTSWANA LESEGO CHOMBO
“I believe that I should be the next in this world because I am the true essence of beauty with a purpose. For as long as I can remember, I’ve always used my skills, my passion, my talent, my intellect, and my love to uplift the lives of those around me.
“I’ve done so through my Genesis project, which levels the playing field for children living in poverty. I use my legal expertise to offer legal solutions to those who cannot afford them. And each and every day I share love and kindness.
“But most importantly, I love this platform. I love it with my whole heart.
And I aspire to see a world where beauty with a purpose is not just a missed world concept, but where each and every person uses that quality that makes them beautiful to uplift the lives of the lives of those around them. And I know that I can’t do it alone.
“And as Julia Molly says, is it not better to light one candle than to not see in darkness? I aspire to be the driving force that inspires the world to light their own little candles. Thank you!”
MISS LEBANON YASMINA ZAYTOUN
“Well, I see miss world as a very strong confident woman, but most importantly a woman with a purpose.
“Born and raised in Lebanon, I’ve learned how to spread love wherever I go how to have respect and how to rise after every fall because even the biggest non-nuclear explosion in the history couldn’t stop us from dreaming and achieving.
“So that’s why I want to share with the world the resilience resilience love respect and compassion Everyone listening to me now. I just want to say thank you Lebanon for teaching me how to be a Miss World. Thank you!”
