Stiletto Spring

Stiletto Sprint (Spiegel)


"Some 265 contestants get in position at the starting line at the inaugural Stiletto Sprint race by the shores of Sydney Harbour Tuesday. The group set a new world record for the most women to run the 80 meter dash wearing 75mm high heels."

Picture 265 athletic women in heels, running for all they're worth. Doesn't this conjure up the opening title sequence of "M*A*S*H"?

Okay, so it's just me.

It looks hard enough to walk in stiletto heels, let alone run in them.

REUTERS has the video:

"More than 260 inappropriately shod runners showed up this time ..."

Okay, it IS just me.
