The woman said she only realised she had won the women's race when she woke up in the medical tent.
A woman won a unique but challenging sport in Gloucester despite being knocked unconscious. Hundreds of people had gathered near the UK city to watch the Coopers Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake race on Monday. The extreme sports competition draws competitors from all over the world to Gloucester each year. The main activity of this event is chasing a Double Gloucester cheese down the 200-yard-long slope. Video from the event showed 19-year-old Delaney Irving from Canada running down the hill along with other participants to chase the 3kg cheese wheel.

Incase she doesn't remember it from being knocked out 🫠Showing us how fearless these Canadians are 🇨🇦 pic.twitter.com/Nnpcn0Kfrj
During the chase, Ms Irving fell down the almost-vertical Coopers Hill in Brockworth, near Gloucester.
