Like a herd of antelope, jockeying and shoving for position, 150 young women raced down Amsterdam's most famed fashion street in stiletto heels Thursday, racing for a $15,000 prize.
The race on the P.C. Hooft street called the "Stiletto Run" is only three years old but has quickly grown in popularity and spawned imitation races in Germany, Sweden, Poland and Russia.
The race's motto is "Shopping is a Sport" and friendly competition is encouraged — though not always observed.
"At the start there was a lot of pushing, you really get elbowed over," said Fauve Stukje, 18, who came with a small entourage and a big pink sign — but failed to win, show or place.
She said she slightly regretted her choice of shoes, which were nearly 4 inches high — a little higher than the 3 1/2 inch minimum.
Tamara Ruben, 25, from the town of Veenendaal, claimed first prize in the 380-yard race, running so smoothly you might think she was wearing sneakers.
Asked how she would spend the money, she said: "Anything but high heels."
本周四,150名年轻女子踩着细高跟鞋在阿姆斯特丹最著名的购物街上抢夺有利位置、像羚羊一样奋力狂奔,夺冠者可获得1.5万美元的奖金。
这项在P.C.胡夫特大街上举办的“高跟鞋赛跑”仅有三年历史,但其影响力迅速增长,德国、瑞典、波兰及俄罗斯都相继举行了类似的比赛。
这项比赛的口号是“购物即运动”,而且鼓励“友谊第一、比赛第二”,不过友好的场面并不多见。
18岁的福芙 斯图基有小型亲友团带着粉红大标语前来助阵,可惜她什么奖都没拿到。她说:“比赛一开始,大家都挤来挤去,老有人用胳膊肘挤你。”
她说她有点后悔选错了鞋,她的鞋跟将近4英寸,比赛跑要求的最低高度3.5英寸还高一点。
此次比赛赛程共380码(1140英尺),来自万尼黛尔小城的25岁女孩塔玛拉 露本夺得冠军,她跑步的时候轻松自如,让人以为她是穿着运动鞋跑步。
当被问及打算如何花这笔钱时,她说:“肯定不会去买高跟鞋。” |
