Some people are willing to run head over heels for a sparkly piece of jewelry.
Fumbling participants in Taiyuan, China risked twisted ankles for the chance to win a diamond ring during a race on July 3. The runners had to book it for 50 meters in 4-inch heels. Adding to the challenge, there was even a special contest for couples in which men had to give their partners a piggyback ride while wearing high-heeled shoes.
