Miss World 2008, the 58th Miss World was held at Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa on December 13, 2008. Originally, the pageant was going to take place in Kiev, Ukraine, but because of the ongoing crisis between Georgia and Russia in neighboring South Ossetia, the Miss World Organization decided to move the pageant away from Eastern Europe. 109 contestants from all over the world compete for the crown, marking the biggest turnout in the 58 years of the pageant, surpassing the previous record of 107 during Miss World 2004. Ksenia Sukhinova of Russia won the crown and succeeded Miss World 2007, Zhang Zilin of the People's Republic of China.
Ksenia Sukhinova (Russian: Ксения Сухинова), born in 1987 in Nizhnevartovsk, Russia, is a beauty queen who won the Miss Russia 2007 and Miss World 2008 pageants.
Ksenia, who is a Russian model, won the 2007 Miss Russia pageant on December 14, 2007 in Moscow, where she represented Tyumen. Ksenia surpassed 50 other contestants from all over Russia. She was unable to represent Russia at Miss Universe 2008 due to her college work, so her 2nd runner-up, Vera Krasova, replaced her in the pageant. Vera placed as the 3rd runner-up to Venezuela's Dayana Mendoza.
