Congratulations to Marc Ellis, former All Black, who won his heat of the annual cheese rolling race at Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire, England.

A total of 21 people were hurt during the event, where competitors pelt recklessly down a steep slope in pursuit of a 71 pound (32 kilogram) cheese. Of the injuries five were serious, including a broken ankle, concussion and a dislocated shoulder.
"It was an average number really. It's what we've come to expect. It's mainly cuts and bruises," a spokesman for the St John's Ambulance brigade said.

Ellis reached the bottom of the steep slope unscathed.

The winners receive the by-now rather dented cheese, while the runner up gets five pounds and third place secures a princely three pounds.

The races were followed by a streaker who hurtled down the hill naked to the delight of the crowds.
