In England, many towns have traditional competitions. Usually try to win a game or contest. Someone rolls a wheel of cheese down a very steep hill. Cheese-Rolling has been a tradition in the town of Brock Worth since the early 1800s. The competitors come together at the top of a hill named ' Cooper's Hill". They wail for someone to push a very large wheel of cheese down the hill. The first winner of the day in this year's competition is Craig Brown, a pub worker. Craig says that his plan was simple. The most important thing is just to continue running. Many people enjoy the Cheese-Rolling races of Brock Worth, but the race can be dangerous. A few years ago, 30 people were injured in an accident at a race. Some of the spectators were hit by the cheese. I this time, the competition route has crash barriers. It's not just the spectators who get injured, the competitors do as well. There are also more injures when there hasn't been much rain before the race. One organize for the event explains, " it's when the ground is really hard. When the injuries are going to happen. However, the hard ground doesn't seem to stop the competitors. One cheese runner thinks they may be. It's dangerous . The cheese racers of Brock Worth may just be crazy. However, the crowds keep on cheering.
