SAO PAULO - An unusual race on Sunday morning rocked the Southern district of Sao Paulo. The first Race of the High Heels attracted some 150 participants vying for a U.S. $580 prize in the parking lot at the Morumbi Shopping Mall.
Sales analyst Talita Romero, covering 100 meters with a time of 13 seconds, was the winner. She took the money and a basket of Dr. Scholl's brand products. “I work all day in high heels,” said the champion, who did not train for the competition.
Actor Caua Reymond participated in the event, blowing a horn and chanting “go beautiful!” “Seing the girls, the Bolt will win,” he proclaimed before the race, referring to the Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt, one of the greatest sprinters of all time and current world record holder in the 100 m, 200 m and 4X100 m relay.
The actor, who is staying in Sao Paulo while he shoots the new film from director Sergio Machado, praised the winner, “I was surprised at the time—13 seconds!” “That's fast,” he added.
