So, we are done with some of the challenge events for Miss World 2012: Designer Award, Beach Fashion and Performing Talent. Now, I have some updates on the Sports and Fitness challenge. Miss World is probably the only international beauty pageant with a sports pre-pageant activity. However, the challenge just fits-in rightly since we are still withing the Olympics season 😀
The candidates were divided into four groups. Each candidate went through individual challenges such as step-ups, sit ups, press ups, burpees and lunges. Independent adjudicators were tapped and they counted each successful manoeuvre. The results were then tallied. The six highest-scoring contestants from each group qualified for the finals where they will compete in some group and individual challenges. The finals for the Sports & Fitness challenge was today but as of press time, Miss World Org didn’t provide any update yet!
So, before I post here the 24 “fit & sporty” candidates who made it to the challenge’s finale, let me post some pictures that were taken during the elimination round:
