In America, a very special contest is held every year in March. The contest is called the ¡°Rotten Sneaker Contest.¡± The competitors bring something special to win the contest. So, what do they bring? Their smelly sneakers! Of course, the smellier the better! Usually, the winners of the contest have been boys. But this year, an 11-year-old girl won the contest!

The 2010 National Rotten Sneaker Contest was held on March 23 in Vermont. The name of the winner is Trinette Robinson. Yes, that¡¯s right, she has the smelliest sneakers in America! Her sneakers stink so much that they beat out competitors from all across the country.

The sneakers were judged on their overall condition, such as their soles, heels, and laces. Of course, the odor was the most important factor! So, how dirty and smelly were Robinson¡¯s sneakers?

Her white and pink sneakers turned gray and brown after having been worn for 3 years. The soles also fell off and the seams were all frayed. Her sneakers will now be displayed in the ¡°Hall of Fumes¡± in Vermont.

Robinson received a trophy as well as 2,500 dollars. She was also given a free trip to New York City to see ¡°The Lion King¡± on Broadway! ¡°I feel really happy,¡± she said about winning. ¡°Words can¡¯t explain how happy I am!¡± Congratulations, Trinette! But please wash your sneakers more often from now on!
