During yesterday’s Sports Challenge of Miss World Philippines 2017 at the Victoria Sports Tower in QC, the 35 candidates were divided into 5 groups of seven and competed in an assortment of sports and physical activities that tested the endurance and sportsmanship of each one. The events went from shooting basketball hoops to kicking footballs to properly performing sit-ups and leg squats to swimming relays. In the end, one team – the World Warriors – prevailed over the rest as each of their members were named finalists for the fast-track event. They are Ethel Abellanosa, Cynthia Thomalla, Glyssa Perez, Shawntel Cruz, Veronica Villones, Joanna Rabe and Nikki Deveza.

The whole activity was hosted by Miss World Philippines 2015 Hillarie Parungao and GM Bessie Besana. Below is a video of the winning team’s group cheerleading performance prior to the physical tests.
