Beijing, Nov 30: Miss India, Ami Vashi, has emerged as one of the favourites of bookies among 106 beauties competing for the Miss World 2003 title to be decided on
December six in Sanya city in south China.
Besides 22-year-old Vashi, the beauties from China,
Ireland, Norway, Venezuela and Brazil are also tipped to win
the coveted title, according to readabet.com website.
Another website global beauties.com has included
Vashi among the top 12 hopefuls out of 106 at the competition.
An article on the pageant on readabet.com noted that
Miss India has become Miss World four times in the last ten
years, while no one else has won it more than once in this
period.
It also points out that Vashi has come through what is
"the toughest national contest on the planet”.
"With the record of her country it is perhaps not
surprising that the best odds to be found are 16/1," it said.
"The Indian entrant will always be in with a chance but
could they really win it for the fifth time this decade?" the
website article wondered.
Meanwhile, according to the website of the beauty
pageant, Miss Ireland, Rosanna Davison was named Miss World
beach beauty 2003 which was held on Friday in Sanya.
