The British bicycle woman Russell rushed to the last lap, then took off her helmet and proudly showed her her bare head to the world. In daily life, Russell has three wigs, including a long blond hair. For a young girl, it is very important to keep herself beautiful. This time Russell stood on the podium with his head. Why not wear a wig? It is important to know that wigs play an important role in the history and culture of the United Kingdom.

Wearing wigs by judges and lawyers in court is one of the most distinctive traditions in the UK. Exploring the reasons, many people have proposed different interpretations. It has been said that in the Middle Ages, excessive fatigue and disease caused the judiciary to prematurely lose their hair , and in order to conceal their "smartness" in front of the public, wigs became popular. Some people say that the judge wearing a wig is to express his high respect.

According to historians and folklorists, the British tradition of wearing wigs began around the 12th century. It was not just a patent for judges and lawyers. People in the upper class saw wigs as a fashion and attended. Formal dressing for formal occasions or salon gatherings.

There is a saying in the UK that the longer a wig is worn, the older and dirty it is, the darker the color, the longer it takes you to travel. These wigs made of horses are expensive, so it usually takes a lifetime to have a wig. A lawyer family has an antique that has been around for a hundred years, and it has been passed down for four generations. It is a treasure of the family.

In 2008, a new British regulation was officially implemented: in addition to the judges who tried criminal cases, most judges and lawyers in the country could no longer wear wigs in court. The times are developing, and judges no longer need to use wigs to improve their dignity, nor rely on it to show their identity.

After the story is over, let's say a few more words: Russell's victory this day coincides with "World Alopecia Area". At present, there are about 7 million patients in the world. From the age of 9, Russell, who was entangled in this stubborn disease, used his gold medals and broke the world record on this special day to send out his own cry for destiny. On the podium, Russell did not wear a wig, but her bald image was more beautiful.
