Hundreds of high heeled women sprint for world record in Sydney
9月2日,260多名女性聚集在著名的悉尼圆形码头,她们可不是来旅游的,而是来参加高跟鞋赛跑的。别看穿高跟鞋平时看上去很优雅,跑起步来可就难受了。值得一提的是,今年的参赛人数还打破了以往的纪录。冠军是18岁的布莱尼·麦克格隆,她不仅赢得了一座精美的奖杯,还有5000澳元的奖金。
With three-inch high-heel shoes on feet, 265 ladies tore up an 80-meter race track at Sydney's Circular Quay on Tuesday to break the world record for the most people running in a "stiletto sprint".
Four hundred meter hurdler Brittney McGlone, 18, was first across the line, winning the 5,000 Aus dollar (4,250 U.S. dollars) award.
She was closely followed by dozens of leggy blondes and brunettes in green shorts, some of whom came off second best with scratches and scrapes from a few spills, according to a report of Australian Associated Press.
Former Australian sprinter Melinda Gainsford-Taylor had the job of inspecting the athletes and ensuring they were wearing three-inch heals and had the customary smooth legs.
An event spokeswoman said the current world record topped the previous world record of 150 ladies.
"It looks like Australia has smashed the current world record and should now hold the title for the most number of people ever to participate in a stiletto sprint," Australian representative for Guinness World Records Chris Sheedy said.
