Shen Siwen could hardly believe or accept this result. Even the audience looked somewhat shocked. After all, Shen Siwen was third place in the preliminary rankings, and according to past experience, the final three rankings would always be a fight between those three.
No one expected that male competitor from Country M to surpass Shen Siwen in the final round, and end up squeezing a place for himself in the top three rankings.
After Jacqueline Madan, another competitor managed to outdo Shen Siwen.
Wen Xinya did not think much about this situation. Shen Siwen had pursued marketability and focused too much on attaining mass appeal while neglecting the soul and meaning of her designs. As a result, it was inevitable that she would fail.
The judges' eyes were pure. In international jewelry design competitions, marketability was just one of the judging criteria and not the main focus.
