For many women high-heeled shoes can make them both happy and rather painful. For anyone who's ever worn them, you'll know that even walking a long distance can be a struggle. So it's hard to imagine running a race in them. Well that's exactly what happened on Saturday in Ukraine.
对大多数女人来讲，高跟鞋可以让她们感到快乐，也可以让她们感到痛苦。而对于那些曾经尝试过高跟鞋的女人来说，穿着高跟鞋即使长距离步行都会是一场痛苦的体验，对已这一点她们都是心知肚明。所以，真的是很难想象让她们穿着高跟鞋赛跑是怎样一种情景。然而，这正是周六发生在乌克兰的一幕。

选手们脚蹬她们最爱的高跟鞋进行100米短跑。近100名选手冒着高温天气参加了这场独具特色的比赛。
The rules stipulated that heels had to be no less than 9-centimeter tall for the sprint, with some competitors even stretching it to 15 cm. Pre-match tactics included using sticky tape on their shoes, along with the usual stretches.
比赛规定所有参赛选手的高跟鞋高度不低于9厘米，有些参赛者的鞋跟甚至高达15厘米。赛前准备工作包括用胶带将鞋与脚粘在一起。
