Warsaw, Sep 30 - Czech Republic came through to win the coveted crown as Miss World 2006, in a glittering and star-studded ceremony at the Sala Kongresowa, Warsaw, tonight.
Czech Republic was crowned Miss World out of 104 beautiful and talented contestants, with Romania named first runner-up, followed by Australia as second runner-up.
In a last minute twist, the judges were unable to decide between contestants in the Asia Pacific continental group, so three girls from that group went through to the final 17 semi finalists, not the proposed 16.
Tonight, Ghana was also announced as the winner of the Beauty With A Purpose Award.
An impressive cast of international stars and music artists ensured that the 56th Miss World Final was a dazzling event of global proportions.
The TV spectacular with 104 contestants was hosted by top Chinese TV presenter Angela Chow and British host Tim Vincent, both of whom make a return to the Miss World stage after carrying last year’s show. They were joined by leading Polish TV presenter Grazyna Torbicka.
Top notch musical entertainment at the Miss World 2006 Final came in the form of internationally-successful Irish band Westlife and Bee Gees singing legend Robin Gibb. Pop opera quartet Amici also performed.
Miss World – The Final is the World’s largest live annual TV event with global viewing figures topping two billion across nearly 200 countries.
