Perhaps some of you have noticed the high heel races put on in FSU. Here is one from Lviv, Ukraine. The winners will go on to participate in a race in Kiev and the winners there will go to New York City. It seems to have been put on by the magazine Cosmopolitan Ukraine.
We're in Lviv, where women-only high heel run competition is taking place. The girls have to run 100 meter distance in heels which are at least 9 centimeters high.
... Anna Bazdreva, Cosmopolitan Ukraine Editor-in-chief: "Breast cancer is a huge problem of women all over the world. Cosmo supports all of them. That's why we are running and supporting this problem, because we want people to look at this problem and pay attention to this problem."
Most of the 130 registered competitors are amateurs and came here just for fun.
Nataliya, competitor: "I'm happy to be here, and I want to take part in this event and I just want to have good time and to enjoy."
But some are very serious about winning and have their secret recipes for that:
Olena, competitor: "I'm ensuring myself a confident race. I don't think this will make my run easier, but this will definitely help me not to lose my heels during it."
And from what it looks like the secret cannot be held a secret for long. A few of the participants confide they were preparing for the race for some time.

One of the girls took a nasty spill. I was amazed at how fast some girls ran.
Too bad a troll felt compelled to make a nasty comment in the comments section.
