The highly regarded pageant took place in Ordos, Inner Mongolia early Saturday morning (Jamaican time), and featuring contestants representing 116 countries. Robins, seen by some as a dark horse heading into the event, continued her strong run of form that she exhibited during the fast-track and talent competitions earlier in the week; placing second in the aforementioned talent segment while earning significant points in several other categories including the Top Model and Beach Beauty competitions to score a place in the top 15.

 

Robins showcased her elegance and sex appeal, donning everything from swimsuits to traditional costumes as she copped one of seven spots in the finals of Miss World 2012. However, any hope that destiny would take its course given Jamaica’s 50th year of Independence would soon run its course as Robins, who aimed towards becoming the pageant’s first Jamaican winner since 1993 (Lisa Hanna), fell just shy of the top three as Jessica Kahawaty (Miss Australia), Sophie Moulds (Miss Wales) placed second and first runner-up respectively before crowd favorite, Yu Wenxia (Miss China) won the Miss World crown in front of her home fans.

 

Wenxia, a 23-year-old music student, became the second Chinese woman to win Miss World and the first since 2007. Miss China took home the Miss World title after topping the talent competition while impressing in several other events and outlining why she deserved to win the pageant by stating, “When I was young I felt very lucky because so many people helped me, and I hope in the future I can help more children to feel lucky.”

 

Wenxia was officially crowned by Miss World 2011 winner, Ivian Sarcos of Venezuela, the country with the most Miss World winners to date (six).

 

Next year, the Miss World pageant will stay in Asia as it will be staged in Indonesia. Jamaica had reportedly been in the running to try and host the internationally acclaimed pageant.
