In just a few hours, the globe will welcome the new Miss World 2017. After weeks of competition and challenges, the three hour Miss World 2017 pageant will declare the winner.

While the event is yet to begin, Wikipedia seems to have already declared the winner. According to their Miss World 2017 page, in the results section, Miss Indonesia Achintya Holte Nilsen has been declared the winner.

Interestingly, the Indonesian candidate has not been short-listed in the Top 40 as we write this story. She was a part of the top 8 contestants in the Multimedia contest and is one of the top 5 semi-finalists of the Beauty with a Purpose round.
