Stiletto Dash

Posted by Alex in Fashion, Sports on September 2, 2008 at 1:11 pm


Coming hot on the heels of the Olympics (see what I did there?), here is Sydney’s Stiletto dash!

The world record for the number of high-heeled sprinters in a race has been smashed by a group of women in Australia.

Two hundred and sixty-five women took part in the 80m dash in Sydney wearing three-inch heels.

Professional hurdler Brittney McGlone easily outran her competitors, taking home $5,000 Australian dollars (£2,500) and a pair of gold stilettos.

The BBC has the video clip: Link – Thanks jeffs!

    Haha that just looks.. really stupid.... Everyone looks like an idiot when they try to run in high heels. Not to mention it could hurt a lot.

    Hot on the heels - I noticed, Alex. I also saw it was the sole pun in your post.

    That's 530 ankle injuries waiting to happen.

    To bad it's not done with men... it could be a Drag Race!

    And Sydney would be just the place for said Drag Race.

    It is rightfully known as the gayest place in the southern hemisphere, if they'd let the trannies and drag queens enter I'd say they'd give the girls one hell of a run for their money.

    A$5,ooo buys a lot of Cosmopolitans.
