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.
