Czech Republic’s Krystyna Pyszkova on March 9 won the coveted Miss World 2024 title at a grand event in Mumbai.
Miss Lebanon Yasmina Zaytoun was named the first runner-up. Reigning Miss World Karolina Bielawska from Poland crowned her successor at the star-studded finale.
Pyszkova is the second Miss World from Czech Republic after 2006 pageant winner Tatana Kucharova.
According to the official Miss World website, Pyszkova is a Czech model who is pursuing separate degrees in law and business administration.
Pyszkova, who is in her 20s, is also the founder of the Krystyna Pyszko Foundation. The model, who is fluent in English, Polish, Slovak, and German languages, is an advocate for sustainable development through education.
“Her proudest moment was opening an English school for underprivileged children in Tanzania where she also volunteered. She enjoys playing the transverse flute and the violin, and has a passion for music and art having spent nine years in an art academy,” read Pyszkova’s profile on the website.
India, which hosted the event after 28 years, was represented by 22-year-old Sini Shetty.
