A woman was knocked unconscious while running down a hill to chase a 3kg (7lb) cheese wheel, but still managed to win her race at the bank holiday event.

🧀 Canadian 🇨🇦 Delaney Irving won’t remember much of winning the Woman’s race at #cheeserolling.

After being knocked out on her way down, she was unconscious for a period of time but told us it was all worth it.
