A South
African, Rolene Strauss, 22, 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.
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 traveled 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.
