I remember seeing a show on Netflix a while back called We Are The Champions. One of the episodes was all about the the Gloucester Cheese Rolling Race. Basically people hurl themselves down a GIGANTIC hill after a big wheel of cheese. It’s straight up NUTS.
Well this morning I learned that a Canadian woman named Delaney Irving claimed the women’s title of Champion Cheese Racer. Check out the video from Greatest Hits Radio in the UK. Wow.
🧀 Canadian 🇨🇦 Delaney Irving won’t remember much of winning the Woman’s race at #cheeserolling.

After being knocked out on her way down, she was unconscious for a period of time but told us it was all worth it.

She got knocked out cold about 10 steps down the hill, then woke up in time to run like heck for a little again, and then WHAM down she went again and she tumbled across the finish line first! She told GHR that she remembers hitting her head the first time, then she remembers waking up in the First Aid tent.
BTW she got to keep the cheese!
Would you do it?
