    High-heel sprint in St. Petersburg



    [​IMG]Women compete in a high-heel sprint in St.Petersburg July 21, 2007. 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 roubles (about $2,000).

    More pictures after the jump.

    i wonder how many girls broke their ankle.
    if i was asked to join a race like that, it better be more than 2 grand US dollars and not a voucher

    That must have looked really silly with everyone tripping and falling. Maybe like a lot of sophisticated women running for a limited sale offer for an expensive purse or something, kekeke. :D

    a better part of that money probably went to healing those aching ankles
