Canadian Woman Gets Knocked Unconscious During Cheese Rolling Contest, Wins Anyway

Gotta love a competition where that’s possible… 🙂

The winner of the women’s cheese rolling race this year was Delaney Irving, a 19-year-old Canadian who was finishing up a six-week trip through Europe. When she happened to be in Gloucester on the day of the race, she decided that she’d enter the competition. “We didn’t really prepare for it at all,” she told CTV News earlier this week. “All we did to prepare was, my friend and I took turns jumping on our hotel bed and doing a roll as best as we could.”

Even England’s worst hotel beds can’t replicate the head-swimmingly steep incline of Cooper’s Hill: Irving told the outlet that videos she’d watched of previous races didn’t prepare her for how steep it actually was. She wasn’t put off though, and was among those who chased the rolling wheel of cheese down the hill… and that’s about all she remembers.

Irving was knocked unconscious as she rolled down the hill, and when she finally came to, she was in the medical tent. She also had a wheel of cheese on her lap because, despite being completely out of it, she won her race. “I remember running, then bumping my head, and then I woke up in the tent,” she said, according to the Associated Press. “I still don’t really believe it, but it feels great.”

She was taken for a CT scan after the race and it did not show any serious injuries — which surprised her mother. “[The scan is] clear and she’s good,” Krista Endrizzi told CTV. “I can’t believe that, because it looks like she shouldn’t be OK.”

The latest trend in tea is a whipped topping made of cheese

Yeah.

Iced, hot, sweetened or with milk, it seems like there’s plenty of options for tea drinkers already. But one trendy addition to the menu is stirring things up.

Cheese tea is the latest beverage trend overflowing on social media news feeds. The drink, which originated in Taiwan and spread throughout Asia, has become the latest popular beverage at bubble tea shops.

While cheese and tea may not sound like an obvious pairing, people on social media are hailing the concoction and drinking it up, sharing their experiences with #CheeseTea.
