US EditionRunners Trip, Stumble and Roll Their Way to Victory in Annual Downhill Cheese Chase
- Tom Kopke from Munich won the first race at the annual Cooper's Hill cheese rolling event near Gloucester on the late-May public holiday, marking his second consecutive victory.
- The contest, dating back at least two centuries, involves men and women competing in several groups to chase a 7-pound wheel of Double Gloucester cheese down a perilously steep 200-yard pitch.
- Among the competitors, Londoner Ava Sender Logan claimed victory in the women's race after tumbling and flipping repeatedly down the hill, holding her head as she completed multiple spins.
- Kopke, shirtless and holding his 7-pound wheel of Double Gloucester cheese, insisted that despite others claiming they would take his crown, the title remained his. Meanwhile, Logan commented that she expected to feel the effects of the race the following day.
- Thousands attended the event where racers risk injuries such as twisted ankles and concussions, and Kopke's repeat win underlines the contest's status as a traditional British sport.
