After then, the field was narrowed down to the top 12 and then the top 8, at which time the competitors took part in the traditional Q&A session, discussing subjects covered at the most recent G20 Summit.

The 23-year-old model and law student, Pyszková, was asked to discuss a topic that directly affects women’s health care. She talked about breaking the stigma and guilt associated with menstruation, stating that “being a woman is a gift” and that talking about one’s period shouldn’t be frowned upon.

Following a single elimination round, four competitors were given the opportunity to “pitch their purpose,” or charitable platform, to three wealthy businessmen from “Shark Tank India.” These four finalists—Africa, the Americas and Caribbean, Asia and Oceania, and Europe—each represented a distinct continent.

The three runner-ups, Yasmina Zeytoun of Lebanon, Aché Abrahams of Trinidad and Tobago, and Lesego Chombo of Botswana, were defeated by Pyszková. (These ladies are referred to as the pageant’s “continental winners,” together with Jessica Gagen of England.)
