21 Injured In Rolling Cheese Race May 31, 2005 LONDON (AP) Chasing an 8-pound cheese down a hill is more dangerous than it sounds. Contestants in the cheese rolling competition broke bones and skinned their knees and elbows Monday in their pursuit of the big cheese. The competition, in which participants hurl themselves 640 feet down a hill after the cheese, has been celebrated for centuries in Gloucestershire, west of London. Teenager Chris Anderson, who won one of four cheese rolling races Monday, was taken to hospital on a stretcher, clutching his winning slab of cheese to his chest. “The pain was worth it,” Anderson said. “This cheese is going straight in a cupboard when I get home. It’s definitely not for eating.” The race is thought to originate from a heathen festival to welcome the spring. The first person to follow the cheese across the line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese and a small cash prize. Thousands of people attended Monday’s event and the local ambulance service reported three people were taken to hospital with suspected fractured limbs, while 18 were treated for bruises and abrasions. cbs2chicago.com
