LONDON
(Reuters) - A 22-year-old South African woman, Rolene Strauss, won the
Miss World 2014 beauty pageant in London on Sunday, the organisers said
in a statement.
Hungary's Edina Kulcsár came second and Elizabeth Safrit,
representing the United States, came third. Miss India Koyal Rana
featured in the top 10 but couldn't proceed further in the competition.
This year's pageant, the 64th, was marred by tragedy after a Honduran
beauty queen was found shot dead in a suspected crime of passion days
before she was due to take part.
The pageant's 124 contestants travelled to the Oxford Union society
earlier this month to discuss whether such competitions still had a
place in modern society. British media reported that some students from
Oxford University were disappointed that the event failed to generate a
lively debate on the subject.
