Miss World shoots video for Olympics' theme "The World Follows Me"

Beijing, CHINA - Zhang Zilin, the current Miss World from China, celebrated her 24th birthday shooting a music video for The World Follows Me, the torch relay song sung by Zhang and other four models for the Beijing Olympics.

"This had been the most special birthday celebration for me," she says. "While I was fulfilling my duty as Miss World, I felt myself like an ambassador for the Olympics."

During most of her interviews and visits, Zhang says she is always asked questions about the upcoming Games.

"There are always gestures of good will when they bring up the topic, and from time to time, there is a strong sense of curiosity," she says. "They simply can't associate me with one who has a 12-year experience as an amateur athlete."
