Last evening 18-year-old Vena Mookram would have flown the Guyana flag high on stage at the 67th Miss World pageant at the Sanya City Arena in Sanya, China.
Vena who had bested nine other contestants in June last to cop the opportunity to represent Guyana, would have gone up against 118 contestants at the pageant which was slated for November 18, but because China is 24 hours ahead of Guyana the pageant would have been held last night Guyana time.
In one her recent updates on Facebook, Vena said that days prior to the pageant had been extremely rough.
