The battle is on! The most beautiful women in the world are already gathered in Krakow, Poland for the much-awaited Miss Supranational 2021 pageant. Despite facing several challenges amid the pandemic, local organizers ensured that this edition will be breaking new ground and totally memorable after several months of comprehensive planning. COVID-19 safety rules include contestants quarantining upon arrival and testing. But whatever challenges they went through, the delegates have arrived safely and in inspirational jet-setting style in Sheraton Grand Krakow.

For Miss Trinidad And Tobago Jenelle Thongs, it was her very first time in Europe, and was feeling ecstatic that it was in Poland, a country rich in history. “I am taken aback to truly experience it through my own eyes. “Miss Supranational made leaps and bounds feel like hops and skips. While getting to our hotel, it was quite rainy but I was in awe of Poland’s beauty from the vast grassy lands to its intimate town settings. Meeting my other Supra sisters and Supra Staff made the long wait so rewarding. 8,409 miles from home but still a home away from home, my moment has arrived,” she said.

Miss Sweden, Jacqueline Rybak is looking forward to start this amazing journey. “Standing on the train station, with my Swedish sash on, made me feel so proud. The day was finally here! When I arrived at Copenhagen Airport 3 hours later, I received such an amazing welcoming. At first, I went to order some food and when leaving, a lot of people were waiting outside and wanted to congratulate me and take pictures. This went on for the entire trip to Poland and I could not be happier about the amazing support. Miss Romania was the first contestant I met at the arrival hall. After being transported to our hotel, I fell asleep right away in my room. Next day I found out that my roommate was: Miss Romania! And now I believe in destiny,” she said.
