Four Australian women have broken the world record for the fastest relay race in stiletto heels. The quartet from Canberra completed a 263-foot course at Circular Quay in Sydney in about one minute and four seconds - while wearing 3-inch heels.
A record keeper from Guinness World Records confirmed that the women had set the record and presented them with a certificate. The team, known as the Pinkettes, were the favourites to take first place in the charity race because they are all students at the Australian Institute of Sport.
The women - Brittney McGlone, Laura Juliff, Casey Hodges and Jessica Penny - plan to use their $10,000 (£6000) prize for a trip to Thailand. About 100 ladies — and one man — competed in the race, which helped raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Miss McGlone, a hurdling champion, said before the race that the secret to running in heels was to get up on your toes. A cheque for $20,000 was presented to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, $1000 of which was raised on the day.
