Woman Wins Cheese Rolling Competition Despite Being Knocked Unconscious

For at least two hundred years, people in Gloucester, UK have been chasing wheels of cheese down Cooper's Hill. One slope of that hill is quite steep for 200 yards. In this traditional sport, a wheel of Double Gloucester cheese is rolled down the hill. After a one-second head start, the runners pursue it, often by just rolling down the hill. It is, perhaps, the purest of sports as it requires courage, stamina, and agility.

Yesterday, Delaney Irving won after arriving at the finish line first. But her tumble down the hill knocked her unconscious. The Guardian reports that she didn't even know that she had won until she woke up after the race in a medical care tent.
