For most Uruguayans, Miss World, or in Spanish, Miss Mundo, is associated with Katja Thomsen Grien.  It was in 2000 when Katja gave this South American nation a sliver of hope at the pageant. She was famously known for handling a rather difficult question given by Miss India Priyanka Chopra, who eventually won the title. Katja meanwhile settled for Top 5 – the highest placement for her country to date at Miss World.
