The Cooper’s Hill Cheese Rolling competition has fast become my yearly sports obsession, and by “sports obsession” I mean “I enjoy watching people rag doll down hills”. Thankfully this year didn’t let us down.
Every year, British people line up to chase a wheel of cheese rolling down a hill, often injuring themselves horrifically in the process. Broken ankles, dislocated shoulders, and head injuries are the norm — but that didn’t stop a record number of people from attempting to catch the cheese over the weekend.
This is a competition without any real prize, just glory and a wheel of cheese. The world is truly a wonderful place.
