Tonight, at 9 PM Eastern Time, the Miss World pageant will take place in Panama City. Beauty queens from 71 countries, ranging from Albania to Venezuela, will showcase their beauty and talent in hopes of winning the Miss World crown and thousands of dollars in prizes. The Miss Venezuela has finally succeeded in obtaining a U.S. visa to participate in the pageant, hoping that, statistically, her chances are higher than those of other contestants, given that four Miss Worlds have come from Venezuela in the past 51 years. Last year, a Russian beauty named Oxana Federova was crowned Miss World, but she lost her title because she failed to participate in promotional and charity events organized by the pageant's organizers, and the title was given to the Miss Panama. She was the only winner of the Miss World crown to lose her title.
