Sydney:
Four Australian women have nabbed the world record for the fastest relay race in stiletto heels.
The quartet from the Australian capital of Canberra completed a 263-foot (80-metre) course near Sydney's Opera House in about one minute and four seconds today - while wearing 3-inch (7.5 centimetre) stilettos.
A record keeper from Guinness World Records confirmed the women had set the record and presented them with a certificate.
The women - known as the Pinkettes - say they plan to use their 10,000 Australian dollar (USD 9,600) prize for a trip to Thailand.
About 100 women - and one man - competed in the race, which helped raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
