The organizers of the Miss World contest which is an annual event since 1951, have recently removed the swimsuit round from their competition, which will start from next year onwards.
To this, actress and former Miss World, Priyanka Chopra said that she was lucky not to have the swimsuit round in the year 2000 when she won the title, as she finds it strange to walk on the stage wearing only bikini over heels.
On December 14, Rolene Strauss of South Africa was crowned the 64th Miss World winner in London, which is marked as the final event featuring swimsuit rounds. Next year onwards, the swimsuit round will be omitted.
