- A Canadian woman has won a historic cheese-rolling race in the United Kingdom - despite being knocked unconscious in the process.
Delaney Irving, 19, was chasing after a 7lb wheel of Gloucester cheese on Monday when she tripped and fell, hitting her head. She didn’t realize she won the race until she later woke up in a medical tent.
“I still don’t really believe it, but it feels great,” the teen told the BBC of her unlikely victory.
The Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling Race is a famed event that takes place in Gloucester, England each spring, with participants running down a steep 180-meter hill chasing a wheel of cheese, which can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour.
The event has taken place annually for around 600 years, according to local folklore, and now draws competitors from across the globe. Multiple races are held over the course of the day.

The power of the Nanaimo bar.
YAH!!!
“Hey, I broke 3 ribs, my right hip, and my left leg in 2 places, but I won a wheel of cheese!” 🧀🐭😂
Given the rates of inflation on dairy these days I’d say fair game
You obviously dont pay for cheese.
@@printingwithlue4310 yes actually I do, but I also have arthritis and think of anybody who breaks bones and has to possibly suffer later in life from it. Life isn’t just about money.
@@BratKat904 naaaaah, you aint paying for cheese.
@@printingwithlue4310 yeahhhh you’re right! 😂🤣
Excellent example of free health insurance.
Well, it's not free but if you pay for it you got to use it😉😉😉
Nothing bizarre about this, all traditional & within the UK customs of organised mayhem,incidentally have you seen the price of cheese these days?
Something can be traditional and bizarre.
Anyone come here looking after listening to the F**kFace podcast?
10 months later, the 5th or 6th time listening to every episode and I finally just decided to look this up and this comment made my day 🤣🙏🏼
@@shawns.12 haha finally! It's so nice to meet a fellow listener!
Putting the pressure on Andrew Panton
If he ever stops stuffing his ankle
Lol I love that this competition is a thing. Pure nonsensical dangerous fun.
The "OOOF!" that just came out of me😅
Trading brain cells for cheese, what a deal!
mice are reasonably clever still
Girl in red was robbed
“Despite the injuries, I think it’s worth it.” The cheese is always worth it ❤
"it just kinda hit me"
Looked like lady in red was the real winner.
For context, she thought she had just won a boat race. She realized an hour later that it was the cheese roll.
Watch this at half speed.
It’s not bizarre, it’s tradition.
Those are not mutually exclusive.
It is pretty bizarre
@@Kai0nTheMoon indeed!⭐️😸
Any other comment leavers? Hello
Judging by the scarf she wore, she's definitely a wizard & used magic to win!
She actually thought she was at the Kentucky Derby. Seriously.
She ran brilliantly and courageously. Her win was well-deserved!
I know what you’re thinking…
…yes, we white people love our cheese.
Thank you for saying it! Lol. Y'all crazy!
600 year tradition going strong
She could roll my - no, stop. Even I can't make this one work.
Well, spinning BJ is a thing. It definitely works.
I see what you tried to do there. Lol
Eww 😐
Jeez!!! Top marks to her but...wow!!!
she didnt catch the cheese tho
Someone marry that girl
I'm trying!
Quality Double Gloucester cheese is worth almost any risk, trust us. ;-)
I didn't know that you could bounce on your face. TIL
The risk of long-term brain injury is too high to consider doing this
Los brought me here
Was she the one on the left or the right?
After that face plant I don't even think she knows
That's Nanaimo's favorite daughter right there
Jesus christ if she can cop a wack like that and get up smiling wanting to go again id be letting her win 100% of the arguments.
Reminds me of "attack on titan" lol so funny
Dave & Chuck The Freak sent me !
ahahahahahaa, ZzzZzzz.... Did i Win?
Brexit
Lewds ah proppin
truie
Lunatics
Idiotic, but can’t stop watching
Not the smartest people
Au contraire? A friend of mine did the Coopers Hill race a few years back, he has a first class bachelors degree and a PhD. He didn’t win the cheese though he had a fun day out 😂
@Mr Taylor this is in the UK, and she’s Canadian.
So…you. It’s you.
@Mr Taylor
Okay, from now on, you design your own fighter jets. Lol
@Mr Taylor
Cute.
@@A.J.1656 I suggest you look-up what the B in BAE systems stands for. BAE are involved in projects with all branches of the US military, and they are by no means the only British company heavily involved in the US defence industry.
and they also have the right to vote...
So do the men, who also participated in their own category.
So what is your point?
bro the mens race is the exact same
I’m praying that you don’t.
You could have broken your neck or one of your limbs but you risked that for cheese... Okay I'll talk to the UN and I will get you lots of cheese.... I did not know things were that bad over there my apologies, your friend America
Haha relax, this is what free health insurance looks like.
Greetings from Europe :)!
No one risks it for the cheese.
