Four Australian women have broken the world record for the fastest relay race in stiletto heels.
The quartet from Canberra completed a 263-foot course at Circular Quay in Sydney in about one minute and four seconds - while wearing 3-inch heels.
A record keeper from Guinness World Records confirmed that the women had set the record and presented them with a certificate.
The team, known as the Pinkettes, were the favourites to take first place in the charity race because they are all students at the Australian Institute of Sport.

The team, known as the Pinkettes, were the favourites to take first place in the charity race because they are all students at the Australian Institute of Sport.
The women - Brittney McGlone, Laura Juliff, Casey Hodges and Jessica Penny - plan to use their $10,000 (£6000) prize for a trip to Thailand.
About 100 ladies — and one man — competed in the race, which helped raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Miss McGlone, a hurdling champion, said before the race that the secret to running in heels was to get up on your toes.
However, the event was harder for some.
Darren Kelly was the only man to take part, strapping on a pair of size eight heels with regulation 3-inch heels.
A cheque for $20,000 was presented to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, $1000 of which was raised on the day.
