Philippine bet Krishnah Gravidez will have to fight for one of the six remaining slots reserved for delegates from Asia and Oceania in the Top 40 of Miss World 2025 as four candidates have already earned automatic entry to the quarterfinals.

These four ladies from the continental grouping topped the “fast-track” events, or preliminary competitions whose winners receive guaranteed slots in the Top 40.

The events were the Sports Challenge, Talent Challenge, Top Model, Head-to-Head Challenge, Beauty with a Purpose, and Multimedia Challenge. Gravidez was on the shortlist in three events, but failed to win in any of them.

With the quarterfinal slots equally distributed among the four continental groups–Africa, Americas and Caribean, Europe, and Asia and Oceania–all regions now only have six remaining slots each in the Top 40.

Here are the ladies who won the fast-track events based on their continental groups:

Africa

– Namibia, Selma Kamanya (Top Model)
– Uganda, Natasha Nyonyozi (Beauty with a Purpose)
