Red Square High Heeled Race In Russia

There are 17 days left in the Olympic Games. On these two days, a "high heel race" was launched on Moscow's Red Square, even for the warm-up match of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. In July 19th, Russian girls gathered in Moscow's Red Square to participate in the "high heeled race" to see who could run the fastest wearing high heels with a height of at least 9 centimeters, and the final winner would receive 100 thousand roubles (30 thousand yuan) vouchers.

The organizers believe that running high heels is an activity for girls to test themselves, test their athletic quality and sense of humor.

They said: "for those girls who like to shop, have a positive lifestyle, and think they are fashionable and brave, this is a recreational activity."

Every participant can win prizes in the high heel race, and the sponsors will give awards and prizes to the winners.

The fastest runner will get a 100 thousand yuan rouble (about 30 thousand yuan) voucher for a store in the capital.

Organizers point out that all healthy participants will be insured during the competition.

"High heeled race" is becoming more and more popular in Russia.

In recent years, in Russia's second largest city, St Petersburg, this kind of competition is held every year.

About 100 fashion women will be involved in such a special race, and the eventual champion will get valuable shopping vouchers.

There is only one requirement for the competition. The competitor must wear high heels and the heel height must not be less than 9 centimeters.

A total of ten women participated in the competition.

Some contestants suspected that the heels of 9 centimeters were not high enough, all of them were more than ten centimeters of heels, and the highest reached 16 centimeters.

Most high-heeled athletes compete to show off their history of high-heeled shoes: some say "wear high heels only for this life"; others say "they have been wearing high heels for ten years, but now they can't walk on any other shoes"; others say that "sprint with high heels is a necessary life skill for urban women, otherwise they won't catch up with buses or work or be late for school".

Running on high heels like "hate the sky" is not only the courage of girls, but also the quality of shoes.
