A 19-year-old from Nanaimo, B.C., has won bragging rights in one of the world's strangest competitions -- though it came at the cost of a concussion and a brief period of unconsciousness.

Delaney Irving won the women's competition in the 2023 Coopers Hill cheese-rolling competition in Gloucester, England on Monday.

The annual contest sees scores of risk-takers hurl themselves down a 45-degree slope chasing a three-kilogram hubcap-sized wheel of Double Gloucester cheese. The first to the bottom wins the cheese and the right to call themselves champion.

Irving, who entered the contest for the first time this year, knocked herself out in capturing the title, subsequently rolling down the hill "like a ragdoll."

"I'm good, now that I remember it I am good," she told British media Monday morning. "I remember running, and then I hurt my head, and then I woke up in the tent."
