Week-end Sport: 100 meters in stilettos and naked bicyle riding

Just back from Brazil these two photos caught the eye.

The first shows really intense competition. The women are competing in a 100 meters race with a prize of 10,000 Euros (around $13,000) shopping trip. The women are running very hard in stilettos - you have to admire the desire to win.

Of course they should have had a men's event as well. The race was in Sweden, so no doubt next year there might well be a men's stiletto event.







The naked bicycle ride in London, England was not competitive - unfortunately. The riders were protesting the ever rising traffic congestion in London and that bicycling needs to be encouraged. Well done to all the participants.
