Miss Cayman takes on the world in China

(CNS): The whole of the Cayman Islands will be hoping that Cristin Alexander will stand out in the world crowd of beauty queens on Saturday during the finals of the Miss World pageant in China. At 6 feet tall the 23 year old psychology graduate has already made her mark and has taken part in the beachwear semi-finals and the finals of the sportswoman contest as well. Cristin has also done remarkably well in the people’s choice hosted by the Missosology website where she has reached fourth place with 9% of the worldwide vote. The beauty queen was also part of a small group of contestants who launched the Sanya Open Beach Volleyball Championships this week.

A member of the Cayman volley ball team Cristin met up with a number of former competitors in the sport at the event. “It’s so strange to see them here,’ she said. “It’s the meeting of two very different worlds for me. I’m really excited to be part of this event.”

The Miss World contest will air this Saturday, 30 October at 9am local time when 115 contestants will take to the stage live for the 60th anniversary pageant. The show will be broadcast to over 180 countries and will be watched by more than a billion people.
Regardless of where Miss Cayman Islands places in the finals however she will no doubt return home on Monday to a warm welcome after her month long visit to China. She will be arriving home at 8:20 p.m. on Cayman Airways flight # 109.
