High-Heeled Sprint

Today's collaboration with Cellar Image of the Day brings us this photo from a rather fashionable sports event held in St. Petersburg, Russia:

Some 100 women took part in the race wearing high-heeled shoes with a required minimum height of 9 centimetres (3.5 inches) to compete for a shopping voucher worth 50,000 rubles (about $2,000)

For someone like me with a weak ankle (Trampoline accident as a kid, it was nasty), this is really really disturbing. >_

Ha, they'd never stand a chance versus Koreans. :)

I've seen plenty of girls sprint to catch a bus while wearing heels.
