Krystyna Pyszková of the Czech Republic was crowned Miss World at a glittering contest held in India on Saturday night.
Yasmina Zaytoun of Lebanon was the first runner-up among 112 contestants in the competition held in Mumbai, India’s financial and entertainment capital.

“Being crowned Miss World is a dream come true. I am deeply honored to represent my country and the values of ‘beauty with a purpose’ on a global platform,” Pyszkova said.

After the reigning Miss World, Karoline Bielawska of Poland, passed the crown to her, Pyszková waved to the large crowd at the Jio World Convention Center and hugged some of the other contestants.

The event showcased the rich tapestry of India’s culture, traditions, heritage, arts and crafts, and textiles to a massive global audience. The participants wore heavily embroidered skirts and blouses and danced to popular Bollywood songs.

The beauty competition returned to India for the first time in 28 years.

India's Sini Shetty exited after making it to the final eight.

An abrupt power generation loss that led to a massive grid disruption and blackout in Spain and Portugal on April 28 started in the southern areas of Spain around Granada, Badajoz and Seville, Energy Minister Sara Aagesen said on Wednesday.

Several investigations involving government, security agencies and technical experts are looking into the unprecedented power outage, but it is the first time Spanish authorities point to specific areas as the origin of the events.

"We are analyzing millions of data ... But there are already elements that we know," Aagesen told lawmakers, adding that investigators had ruled out supply and demand imbalance and insufficient grid capacity as causes.

"We also continue to make progress in identifying where these generation losses occurred and we already know that they started in Granada, Badajoz and Seville," she said.
