Kinilala ng Guinness World Records (GWR) ang isang lalaki sa Spain matapos umano nitong ma-achieve ang 100-meter sprint sa loob lamang ng 12.82 segundo at habang nakasuot pa ng heels.
Sa ulat ng GWR, ginawaran ang 34-anyos na si Christian Roberto López Rodríguez ng titulong “fastest 100 metres in high heels.”
“Christian clocked a time of 12.82 seconds, which is only 3.24 seconds slower than Usain Bolt’s 100-metre sprint world record,” anang GWR.
Para masungkit ang naturang record, nagsuot si Christian ng kinakailangang takong ng sapatos na hindi bababa sa 7 cm (2.76 in) ang taas at hindi hihigit sa 1.5 cm (0.59 in) ang lapad sa dulo.
“As you can imagine, wearing stilettos hugely limits a runner’s stability and speed. Fortunately, Christian managed to complete his superlative sprint without falling head over heels,” saad ng GWR.
Para naman kay Christian, mailalarawan daw bilang “very exhaustive” at “specific” ang naging paghahanda niya para masungkit at mapagtagumpayan ang world record.
“I find it very challenging to be able to run in high heels at high speed. In Spain there are races like this, and they have always gone well for me,” ani Christian sa GWR.
Sinubukan daw niya ang naturang record upang patunayan na ang mga Type 1 diabetic na katulad niya ay maaaring gumawa ng mas marami o higit pang mga bagay kaysa sa ibang mga taong walang diabetes.
Hindi naman ito ang unang 100-meter world record na nasungkit ni Christian. Narito ang isang listahan ng lahat ng titulong iginawad sa kaniya ng GWR:
