TL;DR Summary

A Canadian woman, Delaney Irving, won the women's cheese-rolling race in Gloucestershire, England, but only realized it after regaining consciousness in a medical tent. The annual race, dating back centuries, involves chasing a seven-pound full-fat hard cheese named "Double Gloucester" down a steep hill, often resulting in injuries. The first person to cross the finish line wins the cheese. The tradition is believed to be one of the oldest customs to have survived in Britain.
