Miss World Sports

Miss World Sports or Sportswoman is a title and award given to the winner of a sports event at Miss World. It is a fast track or preliminary event, giving the winner automatically makes it into the semifinals. So far there are 5 Miss World Sports winners starting at 2003. In 2005, there was no Miss Sports winner because it wasn't held as an individual fast track event, but rather a continental team competition. Starting in 2006, the individual competition was back again.

Rules

All the contestants have to be trained in sit ups, push ups, jumping jacks, etc. The fastest women get to move on to the next round. From there on they get tested on the sports (swimming, long jump, etc.). Then the top 3 winners are announced.
