Woman wins bizarre ‘cheese-rolling race’ - despite being knocked unconscious | New York Post
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.

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.
