(cheering)
Around the world there are many unusual sports,
but cheese rolling is one of the most unusual.
Cheese rolling started about 200 years ago in the English town of Brockworth.
First, the competitors come together at the top of Cooper's Hill.
Then someone pushes a very large wheel of cheese down the hill.
And after that?
The competitors run after it!
The cheese rolls down the hill at more than 60 kilometers per hour.
The competitors go pretty fast, too!
The first person to arrive at the bottom wins.
What's the prize?
The wheel of cheese, of course!
The first winner of the day is Craig Brown, a pub worker.
Craig's plan was simple.
Keep going¡­
and try to get your balance back.
It's steeper than you could ever think.
You would have to run down there to really believe how steep it is!
Many people enjoy the cheese rolling races,
however, they can be dangerous.
A few years ago, 30 people were injured in an accident at a race.
One of the cheeses rolled down the hill and went into the spectators.
It's not just spectators who get injured, competitors do as well¡ª
especially when it's cold or there hasn't been much rain.
It's when the ground is really hard¡­
that's when the injuries are going to happen.
So why do people enter the race?
Are they crazy?
One cheese runner thinks they may be.
It is dangerous.
If l'm running down¡­
must be crazy.
Yeah, I must be crazy¡­.
These cheese racers may be crazy.
But every year the crowds keep on cheering,
and the competitors keep on running.
Is it for the fame?
Is it for the fun?
We may never know, but it's more than just cheese that makes
people want to win Brockworth's annual cheese rolling race!
