The final show of the pageant was held in Mumbai on 9 March, where Pyszková advanced as one of the seven finalists for Europe in the top 40; she later advanced as one of the three finalists for Europe in the top 12, two finalists for Europe in the top eight, and achieved the highest score from Europe in the top four.[18] After the announcement of the top four, Pyszková was later crowned the winner.[19][18] With her win, Pyszková became the second woman representing the Czech Republic to win Miss World, following Taťána Kuchařová who had been crowned Miss World 2006.[20]
