Tatana Kucharova, an 18 year old from the Czech Republic has just won this year's Miss World beauty pageant. Her personal motto is "Always be an optimist." She's in high-school now and plans on attending university and a future modeling career.

Kucharova is athletic. She enjoys playing tennis, volleyball and many other sports. Although slim, she looks the least skinny of all the other finalists. The judges may have been influenced by the debate about too-skinny models going on in Europe over the past couple of weeks.

Here's a (rather long) video clip of the last eight minutes of the pageant.
