BY Dinitha RathnayakeSri Lanka has lost the opportunity to host the 2021 Mrs. World pageant as the event’s organising committee has decided to hold the competition in Las Vegas, Winchester, Nevada, United States in January 2022, instead of in Sri Lanka as had been previously planned. The Mrs. World organising committee made the official announcement on Facebook saying:“The Mrs. World pageant will take place at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino from 9 to 16 January 2022. Sri Lanka was to host the 2021 Mrs. World pageant. This was after Jurie became the second Sri Lankan to be crowned Mrs. World at a pageant held in Las Vegas in 2019. However, in April this year, Mrs. Ireland Kate Schneider was made the new Mrs. World after Jurie stepped down.
