Puerto Rico becomes the 17th country with multiple winners since Miss World started in 1951. Although the Miss World Talent event is not a compulsory competition, contestants who participate in the event, earn major points in the final round of the Miss World competition. This was the first time in history, that Rwanda participated in the Miss World beauty pageant, with Miss Rwanda 2016 Jolly Mutesi, being the first beauty queen to represent the country at the international beauty pageant and battling it out with 117 contestants.
