On asking about her win, Tatána stated, “I always watched the Miss World finals, the world competitions, and I always wanted to at least do something like that, for me it was like an unattainable dream and unattainable base, but I always dared to dream of it, and I always wanted to go some way and get to it, at least to smell and be part of it. Well, it worked.”
