http://www.eurool.com Miss World 2008, the 58th Miss World Final is held at Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa on December 13, 2008. Russia's Ksenya Sukhinova was on Saturday crowned Miss World 2008 after beating scores of international beauties, including India's Parvathy Omanakuttan who finished first runners up, at a glittering African extravaganza held here. The second runners up was Gabriel Walcott of Trinidad and Tobago. Originally, the pageant was going to take place in Kiev, Ukraine, but because of the ongoing crisis between Georgia and Russia in neighboring South Ossetia, the Miss World Organization decided to move the pageant away from Eastern Europe. 109 contestants from all over the world are expected to compete for the crown, marking the biggest turnout in the 58 years of the pageant, surpassing the previous record of 107 during Miss World 2004. At the conclusion of the final night of competition, outgoing titleholder Zhang Zilin will crown her successor.
