TPO - Vietnam's representative stopped at the top 40 position in the final round of Miss World 2024. The beauty has many skills but had to face a very strong opponent and suffered many disadvantages when the contest changed its format.
 |
On the evening of March 9, Mai Phuong and 111 other contestants entered the final night of Miss World 2024 in Mumbai, India. During the program, Mai Phuong was announced as the winner of the Multimedia challenge and was one of 13 contestants who won a ticket straight to the top 40. |
  |
Opening the show, Mai Phuong and the contestants performed in evening gowns. After being announced as top 40, the Vietnamese representative and 12 winners of the secondary awards performed in Indian national costumes. |
  |
Mai Phuong was unlucky not to be named in the top 12. This year's competition selected the top by continent. In the top 12, there were 2 representatives from each continent named. With this format, the audience thought that Mai Phuong would have a hard time competing for a spot in the top when the Asian region had many strong opponents. Even strong candidates like Turkey and Indonesia could not make it into the top 12. Even before that, highly rated candidates like the Philippines and Thailand were not even named in the top 40. |
  |
During the journey of more than 20 days in India, Mai Phuong was commented to have done well the role of a Vietnamese representative in the biggest beauty pageant on the planet. With the advantage of English skills IELTS 8.0 and the ability to communicate and respond sensitively, Mai Phuong interacted and connected with the contestants and the organizers. |
  |
However, with her small stature, Mai Phuong was affected quite a bit during the competition. |
  |
| Mai Phuong is in the group of contestants with average height in this year’s contest with a small figure. Like many other Asian beauties competing internationally, Mai Phuong is at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength, figure and flexibility compared to the beauties from Europe, America and Africa. |
  |
| From the moment she arrived in India, Mai Phuong had health problems. With her weak physical condition, the audience commented that Mai Phuong only contributed to the Sports competition and had no chance of making it to the top. Similarly, many viewers commented that Mai Phuong would have difficulty making it to the top of the Fashion Beauty competition because of her physical limitations. |
  |
| In the talent competition, Mai Phuong and her team had prepared carefully with a clear strategy. She brought the song Pray , which she composed herself, with a unique rap. The beauty also planned to share with the judges the meaning behind the song in her performance. |
 |
| However, her poor health affected her performance. The beauty could not even perform the entire song. Despite singing two other songs, Mai Phuong still could not score points in this performance. |
  |
| Miss Charity and Head to Head Challenge were two competitions that the audience expected Mai Phuong to shine, however the results were not as expected. Explaining this result, many viewers said that Mai Phuong's opponent was too strong. |
 |
| Besides, the organizers' constant change of format in announcing the top contestants also greatly affected Mai Phuong's results as well as other contestants. |
  |
| At this year's contest, not only Mai Phuong but many other highly regarded beauties such as Colombia or Venezuela also came away empty-handed in the sub-contests, surprising many people. |
  |
| Despite failing most of the sub-contests, Mai Phuong is still highly regarded by many beauty sites. In the most recent prediction table by Missosology , Mai Phuong is ranked 15th. Even before that, Pageanthology predicted that she would win the crown. |
   |
| Through that, it can be seen that Mai Phuong has done a good job of connecting, communicating and receiving attention from many beauty sites as well as the media. |
  |
| True to the spirit of young people being proud of their homeland, Mai Phuong has brought the country's unique cultural features to introduce to international friends. Vietnamese dishes, meals, dances... are introduced to international friends through her social networking platform. |
  |
| Mai Phuong's journey at Miss World has ended but it is a beautiful mark on her youth. |
