Zhang Zilin was the tallest contestant at Miss World 2007 competition, and had been one of the bookmakers favourites to win.

Miss Angola, Micaela Reis, was the runner-up, while Miss Mexico, Carolina Moran Gordillo, came third.

This is the first time an East Asian contestant has won.

Am sure it was entirely coincidental that the country hosting Miss World 2007 won the contest, but credit to Miss China, she was a bit of a stunner towering over everyone else in the contest, and did her bit to promote the Beijing Olympic games in 2008.

I wasn't that impressed with Miss Mexico and nor were the audience judging by their response to her.

If anyone asks who I had my money on winning the Miss World 2007 contest it was the rather well endowed Miss Angola

What I think is really worthy of a mention is the performance put on by the pair of dancers in the interval which was unparalled in skill and dexterity, how this dancer was able to balance on one foot whilst standing on her partners outstretched arm is beyond me! Dunno what there names are, but would like to award them 10/10 for their performance.

Geoff I think Miss China put on an extremely good performance throughout the competition and is an asset to China, I rather hope to see more of her towards the 2008 Beijing Olympic games.

It made a refreshing change to see a contestant being voted Miss World 2007 for something apart from the size of her boobs and her love of babies and charity events
