'Becoming Miss World is a blessing beyond my wildest dreams' - Krystyna Pyszková


Miss World Krystyna Pyszková took to social media to express her heartfelt reflections just hours before the arrival of the new year 2025.

The stunning beauty from the Czech Republic, who was crowned the 71st Miss World last March in India, described 2024 as "one of the biggest challenges" she has faced.

"I experienced some of the most beautiful moments and achieved many of my dreams, but it was also a tough year with its share of lows," she shared.

"We often share only the good times, but I want to acknowledge both sides. Through it all, I've come out stronger," she continued.

Krystyna expressed her gratitude to her supporters, stating that winning Miss World was a blessing that exceeded her wildest expectations.

"It's a testament to the idea that when life takes something from you, it often gives back even more in return. Patience has been my guiding word this year," she remarked.

As she prepared to welcome the new year, Miss World 2024 concluded her message with warm wishes for her followers and hinted at the exciting projects she has planned for 2025.
