The essentials A 19-year-old young woman participating in a cheese race (or ‘cheeserolling’) in England lost consciousness after being hit to the head. She still won the pursuit.
What does “cheeserolling” consist of, an original activity that attracts many curious people, especially in England? It’s simple: the goal is to drive down a hill at full speed chasing a loaf of cheese. Funny but potentially dangerous scenes often occur during these races. More fear than harm this time at Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake near Gloucester, England.

The young Canadian told our Guardian colleagues everything after the incident, which ended well as she had no consequences.
“I woke up in the tent”
Delaney Irving traveled from Vancouver, Canada, especially for the race. During the chase, she fell and lost consciousness, then rolled down the slope and finished ahead of all participants. “I remember running, then hitting my head and then waking up in the tent. I still don’t really believe it, but it’s great,” she told our UK colleagues.
