THE COOPERS HILL CHEESE ROLL ING FESTIVAL

THE COOPERS HILL CHEESE ROLLING FESTIVAL

The Coopers Hill Cheese-Rolling?is an annual event held on the?Spring Bank Holiday?at?Coopers Hill, near?Gloucester?in the?Cotswolds?region of?England. It is traditionally by and for the people who live in the local village of?Brockworth , but now people from all over the world take part.

When the game begin, the host will push a giant cheese from the top of the hill, meanwhile, gives the command for starting. Dozens of participants, both young and old, rushed to chasing the cheese, the first catch to win. Of course, no one can catch the cheese so far, we just go crazy from rolling hills.

From the top of the hill a round of?Double Gloucester?cheese?is rolled, and competitors race down the hill after it. The first person over the finish line at the bottom of the hill wins the cheese. In theory, competitors are aiming to catch the cheese, however it has around a one second?head start?and can reach speeds up to 70?mph （112?km/h）, enough to knock over and injure a spectator.

Accurate information is hard to come by, but the tradition is at least 200 years old. Each year the event becomes more and more popular with contestants coming from all across the world to compete or even simply to spectators.

举行时间：每年5月底

举行地点：英格兰，格洛斯特郡，库伯山

滚奶酪比赛起源于英国，参赛选手在比赛中追赶一个从山上滚下的巨大奶酪轮，追到的选手最终将拥有这块奶酪。每年的5月底，英国都要举办疯狂刺激的滚奶酪比赛，尽管奖品最高不过是那个奶酪而已，但“奶酪勇士”们就算被摔断胳膊和腿也在所不惜。当然至今为止很少有人能追到奶酪，大家只是疯狂的从山上滚下去而已。
