Fastest 100m in high heels in Guinness World Record attempt
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
The stage is set for a world record attempt where speed is of the essence. But it's a
lot trickier...when you're wearing high heels. That's not deterring Julia Plecher from Germany
who has her eyes on the prize. That prize is 100 metres away. After a steady start Julia
gets into her groove and luckily none of them on the track. She passes Usain Bolt's 100
metre world record time - but then he doesn't wear high heels.
Seconds later she crosses the finishing line - having completed the fastest 100 metres
with heels....at 14.531 seconds. Julia's time has been added to the latest addition of the
World Records book. Julia's been doing this for years. In 2009 she took part in a so called
"stiletto run" in central Berlin where she lives. The heels had to be 7 centimetres high.
Julia's were 8 point five. She won the event and a shopping voucher worth 10 thousand euros.
This attempt was to set the female world record attempt....so there's scope for another one!
