23-year-old Miss China, Wenxia Yu, was crowned Miss World 2012 on Saturday.
The 5 foot 8
beauty queen beat out 115 other contestants, including Sophie Elizabeth Moulds of Wales and Jessica Michelle Kahawaty of Australia, who were first and second
runners-up, respectively.
"When I was
young I felt very lucky because so many people helped me and I hope in the
future, I can help more children to feel lucky," Yu said after her win was
announced.
Yu, a music
student who says she aspires to be a teacher, brought the win home to China,
which hosted the event at Dongsheng Stadium in the northeastern city of Ordos.
China has hosted the competition, which has been held annually since 1951, five
times, and last took the crown in 2007.
The top 7 finalists were Jamaica, South Sudan, India, Australia, Brazil, China and Wales.
