Delaney Irving was knocked unconscious after falling at the finish line
But Delaney Irving doesn’t remember much about the finish of the crazy annual race down a near-vertical hill in Brockworth.
Irving told the BBC she ran a “good race” going after the three-kilogram double Gloucester hard cheese. At the last minute, however, she entered. A video posted to Twitter showed a mass start and several people falling at the top of the hill. Irving also fell midway down, but got up and made a last dash to the finish, wiping out with just a few metres to go, but tumbling over the finish line first.
Matt Crolla of Manchester won the men’s race. Asked by the Guardian how he prepared, Crolla said: “I don’t think you can train for it, can you? It’s just being an idiot.”
